This week we pray for:

  • And give thanks and praise for you made plants, animals, people and all of the cosmos; declaring them all good
  • We pray for all congregations as they continue to steward the church in these difficult times
  • We pray for the people of the Philippines and their safety and we pray for the government of the Philippines to act with God's wisdom and compassion
  • We pray that as we be the church, may we listen to God’s deep wisdom; may we show Christ’s self-giving love and may we be open to the Spirit amongst us, as new things spring forth.
