Please sustain us, in what is hopefully the last stage of the lockdown, and continue to sustain us if this is further prolonged. ✤We pray for all who engaged in the entertainment, hospitality and airport sectors of our economy, asking that support might continue, so jobs do no permanently disappear. ✤We pray for our friends in the benefice who may have been feeling very isolated. Help us to keep both our eyes, and ears open to the quiet voice calling for help. ✤We continue to remember those parts of the world where there is a shortage of vaccine, and remember that, until all are protected, none are protected. We give thanks for for the billion doses of vaccine, made available by the G7 nations, in support of common humanity, ✤We pray for the Make Lunch and activities taking place at All Saints during the school summer holidays. ✤ Lastly we pray for Diane Simms, being ordained as Benefice Deacon on 4th July, and bless her in the ministry with us all. Pray for Sharon Gleed, as she ends her pastoral placement with the benefice, and ask that God would bless her in the next phase of her ordination training and we continue to remember Sarah Heywood, formerly of All Saints, as she ends her first year of training at Trinity College. 7
