give thanks for the St John’s leadership, in particular that Nick will return from his summer holiday rested and refreshed, and for Mike Lodge, David Ivorson and Andy Brown for preaching in his absence. Pray for the future possibilities for youth leadership and assistance for Nick.

Tuesday, 18 Aug 26

pray for all those affected by the heatwaves experienced at home and abroad; for people whose heath has been impacted, for those who have lost property and livelihoods and for all emergency services working so hard to combat and prevent fires.

Wednesday, 19 Aug 26

in Sunday’s service, we prayed for our mission partner Tearfund. Continue to pray for its work around the globe, especially in Sudan, Chad, Afghanistan, the DRC and Malawi where the need is particularly acute.

Thursday, 20 Aug 26

last Friday’s weekly newsletter highlighted the problems being experienced by the East Grinstead Foodbank and thus those who benefit from its provision. Pray that reduced donation levels will be increased and that vacant volunteer positions will be filled.

Friday, 21 Aug 26

Give thanks for those who received their desired exam results in the last few weeks and for their next steps and for those who perhaps are disappointed with their results, that they will be able to re-take exams or know that there will be alternative routes forward and that exam results are not the be all and end all

reflect on the recent sermon on Psalm 9, especially meditating on vs 7 to 10….:\n\nThe Lord reigns forever;\nhe has established his throne for judgment.\nHe rules the world in righteousness\nand judges the peoples with equity.\nThe Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,\na stronghold in times of trouble.\nThose who know your name trust in you,\nfor you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
