Watch our Wonderful

Carol service!

ADVENT

Our Archbishops are encouraging us all to keep a month of committed and deep prayer for the world and for the communities we serve. Please find time each day if you can, for prayer, silence and reflection.

The suggestion is five minutes each day, at 6.00pm. A copy of the Prayer Booklet is attached below, and here is a prayer to use:

Loving God, at this time of crisis when so many are suffering, We pray for our nation and our world. Give our leaders wisdom, our Health Service strength, our people hope. Lead us through these parched and difficult days

to the fresh springs of joy and comfort that we find

in Jesus Christ our Lord

Amen
