For your prayer this week

Bread of life, sustain us in our service of you and of others. Help us to be your hands and feet, ensuring that all have access to their daily bread. We continue to pray for our neighbours in Australia and Fiji, as COVID spreads causing disruption and death. Bless their leaders with wisdom and clear communication. Protect the vulnerable and comfort those experiencing loss in all its forms.

As we enjoy watching the Olympics, we ask for your peace to be with those experiencing the weight of expectation and the disappointment of loss. May they be grounded in the knowledge of their worth as beloved children of God.

We pray for those we know who are sick or in need of our prayers.

We pray for those in Long Term Care.
