Would you like someone to pray for you or a loved one?Each week in our intercessions at Church we pray for those who are sick, including those from our parishes who are in hospital, or undergoing treatment.
We now have a small group of people who will pray for you or a loved one.
They will also be prayed for in the relevant Church at Morning Prayer each week.
If you, or a loved one would like prayer, please contact Judith Hewitt, 488331, judithmhewitt@btinternet.com
If you want prayer for someone else, please would you ask their permission, as we do when praying for someone in Church.
Initially you will be prayed for four weeks, but can be prayed for again.
The group praying will only have a first name, but Nick, Mark (our curate) and myself will have a surname and the reason for prayer.
