Prayer
Our church buildings remain closed – but our churches are people and we continue to be active, to worship God and to support each other. Most of all we continue as a people of prayer. I am grateful to Roger for this prayer:
Ever present God,
be with us in our isolation,
be close to us in our distancing,
be healing in our sickness,
be joy in our sadness,
be light in our darkness,
be wisdom in our confusion,
be all that is familiar when all is unfamiliar,
that when the doors reopen
we may with the zeal of Pentecost
inhabit our communities
and speak of your goodness
to an emerging world.
For Jesus’ sake. Amen
As a people of prayer please do send me any prayers that speak to you – and why not write your own prayers and poems and send them in to be shared? We would love to produce our own local book of prayers and poems.
Weekdays at 8.30 am — The AVMC Ministry Team is holding virtual Morning Prayer at 8.30 each weekday and hold all in prayer. Should you have specific prayer requests please send these to Clive.
Please e-mail clives1865@gmail.com or telephone (01297) 792120.
Please remember in your private prayers all those you know to be in trouble, sorrow or sickness
Communication
Talking to someone can be a real encouragement. Why not call someone and have a chat. Don’t be alone – please make sure you have telephone or internet contact with people each day. Don’t wait for them to call you!
