Contact) 6.30pm ‘Sunday Serenity’ / Service of Healing : Burwell ____________________________________________ FOR YOUR PRAYERS: - As Jesus was presented at the Temple, that we might offer ourselves in service to God ever more fully and faithfully. - As Simeon proclaimed Jesus “a light to the Gentiles, and for Israel” that we may shine as light for the glory of God in our homes, community & places of work & leisure. - As Simeon prophesied too the way would not be easy for May & Joseph as parents, we pray for all who find parenting difficult, and who bear painful & heavy burdens. - As Anna praised God upon her encounter with Jesus, so may we give praise and radiate the joy of our faith. - As Jesus grew in wisdom on the path to adulthood, so may we learn wisdom as we put our faith into practice and grow in spiritual maturity. - we pray for all who have suffered in the earthquake in Haiti, especially those who are homeless, the sick & injured, and those who grieve the loss of loved ones. Strengthen us in faith and inspire us in reaching out to them that we may help to heal those who are broken in body or spirit. - Thanksgiving for the work of the PCC and its members as it meets this week for its final session before the APCM, sharing in the Eucharist. - in the Deanery: for Ven. John Beer & all deaneries in the Archdeaconry of Cambridge under his care. - for this parish: for those living in Mason Road, Granchester Rise, (Burwell), Ditchfield (Reach). - for those in special need: - for those in special need: Grace Bruce, Jean Pratt, Stephen Thacker (& family), Chloe Saunders, Irene Plumb, Vera & Len Lawrance, Anne Cooke (nee Griffiths), Ann Fuller, Renee Haslam, Vera Baker (Bella Swann’s Great Grandmother). - For the bereaved, including the family & friends of Private Robbie Hayes and those remembering anniversaries of death at this time.
