Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Pray for all medical, nursing and social care staff as they continue to work through the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pray that they may be given renewed energy when they are exhausted and drained. Give thanks for their commitment and dedication over the last 19 months of the Covid-19 crisis. Financial pressures Give thanks for organisations like Christians Against Poverty and Trussell Trust who support those facing financial hardship. Pray that those struggling financially would be able to access and receive the support they need. General Council Pray for the Linkage Commission as it meets next week to consider a number of vacancies and other important reports. Pray for the convener, James Livingstone and secretary, Rev Ker Graham, as they continue to give leadership to the work of the Commission in these challenging times. Council for Training in Ministry Next week, a Pre-retirement Conference is planned for ministers due to retire in the next couple of years and their spouses. Many ministers find the adjustments of retirement challenging-moving house, joining a new congregation, and ceasing full-time ministry. Pray for recently retired ministers and those planning for retirement, that the Lord will give grace for the changes and use themin a new season of life |
