Prayer Group Report
The Prayer group didn't meet last weekend, but there are prayer needs detailed in the Prayer Book on the welcome desk.
Please continue to pray for peace and for the various Aid agencies working in difficult circumstances to help the needy in many parts of the world. We think of the homeless in this country who sleep on our streets, especially at this time of year when the weather is so cold.
