Father, we give you thanks for your creation and ask your blessing upon al who are working to conserve and protect the earth.  We pray for the peoples of he  earth who have been moved out of their homes and land through the greed and power of others.  

Father, forgive us when we are insensitive to those who suffer as a result of our desire for cheap products.  May we do al we can to bring justice and fair trade to peoples and nations.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Lord, guide your Church that in its words and actions it may reveal your glory.  We ask your blessing upon Reverend Gaenor and Judith our Lay Reader thanking them for all they do for us.  We ask your blessing upon all preachers of the Word and ministers of the sacraments that they may help us to do your will and have a vision of your purpose, and that each in our mission may proclaim your kingdom and your glory.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

We pray for all who are called to govern and all who influence the minds of others.  We especially pray for King Charles and Queen Camilla and all the Royal Family.  We pray for leaders of industry and great multi-national companies and for all they work with. Lord, help us to show our care for the earth and our respect for the individual in all that we do.  We remember those whose lives are blighted by the greed or insensitivity of others.  

Com, Lord, be known in all who share in your saving purpose.  Guide and bless all rescue workers.  We remember doctors and nurses, ambulance workers and paramedics.  We pray for the Fire Service, the people on lifeboats and all who risk their lives in the care and service of others.  We pray for all who are carers within our communities.  Especially, we lift up to you, Lord Jesus, Joan Gaddes and Ann Persson.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

We ask your blessing upon all who suffer from injustice, war or violence, especially remembering those in Ukraine and Russia.  We remember those caught up in natural disasters and struggle, due to famine or flood.  We pray for those who feel life has no purpose or meaning and all who are tempted to despair.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

May the Christ, risen in glory, be known to dwell among us,
May the peace and joy of the risen Lord be upon each of us,
and the blessing of the Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit be with us now and forever.

Merciful Father, accept these prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen
