Holy God, who is faithful and unchanging: enlarge our minds with the knowledge of your truth, and draw us more deeply into the mystery of your love, so that we may truly worship you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Lord God, You are beauty, you are gentleness, you are our shelter, our guard, and our defender, you are strength, you are refreshment, you are our hope, you are our faith, you are our love, you are our complete consolation, you are our life everlasting, great and wonderful Lord, all-powerful God, merciful Saviour! Amen. (by Francis of Assisi)

Heavenly Father, we pray for Nick and all those attending the ReNew conference today and tomorrow. Thank you for the ReNew network’s desire to work with churches locally, regionally, and nationally to pioneer, establish, and secure healthy local Anglican churches. We pray that the conference would further this aim and be edifying and refreshing for all those in attendance.

Heavenly Father, with voting now open for the Church of England’s General Synod, we pray that faithful, orthodox clergy and laity would be elected. We pray specifically for an orthodox majority in both the House of Clergy and the House of Laity, and for a General Synod led by your word that seeks your will in all its deliberations and decision-making. Please be with those at St John’s who have a vote. Please would they be discerning and wise in their voting.

Heavenly Father, we pray for your provision of godly leaders for us at St John’s. Please would you guide St John’s in appointing someone to lead our youth ministry. Please would the diocese look favourably on our expression of interest for a new curate. And please, would you guide the ongoing process of appointing a new Bishop of Southwark. Please would you provide us with a godly bishop who will lead the diocese faithfully.

Heavenly Father, we give thanks for the safeguarding training planned for Saturday morning. Thank you for our parish safeguarding officer, Julie, and all she does to serve the church family in that role and in others. Please equip her for that work. Thank you to those who volunteer in a variety of ways and will give up their time on Saturday morning to ensure we do our best to care well for children and vulnerable adults.

Heavenly Father, thank you that Felbridge Primary will be coming to the church building this morning for their harvest service. We thank you for this and for our other links with the school, and for the opportunities those links provide to share the gospel. We pray that the gospel would be made clear this morning and that some would want to learn more.
