Prayer Calendar

Saturday, 15 Aug 26

Lord amid the conflicts and political/ economic turmoil in the world we know that such isn’t a revelation, surprise or news to you. On this day in 1620 The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth to the “New World” with 102 Pilgrims aboard. They were fleeing religious oppression in this country and hoping for freedom to worship elsewhere. Such events litter history. We take succour from your presence over us that ultimately your will can but prevail. Let us glean strength in darker moments from such knowledge but not take you, Lord ,for granted when all around us appears to be comfortable and the personification of contentment.

May the message of the Bible be faithfully proclaimed at St John’s this weekend. May your people be encouraged as they sing and pray to you. May the Holy Spirit be at work in all ages of our church family. And may Jesus your Son be glorified in all we do. Stir up our hearts to put our faith in you and may the truths of your Word bring real joy and peace and hope to people’s lives. Amen.

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.

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.

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
