Weekly News – w/c Mon 9th July
PLEASE PRAY for all those who work in our National Health Service as we celebrate its 70th birthday. Borrowing some words published this week by the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity Romans 13:7 says: ‘Give to everyone what you owe them: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour.’ Paying taxes is an intrinsic part of discipleship, not only because it’s a legal requirement, but because in the UK our taxes are used to meet the needs of the sick, the dying, the very young, the elderly, and the disabled – care of whom is a mark of true faith (James 2:14-17). May we gladly pay our taxes as a mark of true faith to show our love for our neighbour.

PLEASE PRAY for our community as we prepare to welcome visitors for the Meltham Memories weekend. We pray that the positive nostalgia for times passed does not turn into the glorification of war and that through our time spent celebrating together we can continue to pray for and work for peace for all people. Help us to be a Church through faith and deeds.
“But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.” (James 2:18)

Weekly News – w/c Mon 18 June
PLEASE PRAY for all those in authority that they will made good choices. We sit at a time when there is the possibility of great strides being taken towards peace on the Korean Peninsula, in the Middle East and in Afghanistan – yet for every story of hope and progress, there are warnings of the failings of being driven by love of ourselves rather than of you. We long for peace and trust that you guide those who have hearts to ask and ears to listen. From Psalm 138 (v6) Even though you are so high above, you care for the lowly, and the proud cannot hide from you.
