1^st        “The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.  Come and see what amazing things he has done on earth.”

Psalm 46 v 7 & 8

2^nd       We think today of Mary, your earthly mother, who watched over your cradle and also your cross.

3^rd        Father God, bless our minister, Sarah, our Session Clerk, Brenda, and our Clerk to the Board, Andy, as they lead us towards the resumption of communal worship.

4^th           Eternal Lord, we celebrate your resurrection with joy and thanksgiving.

14^th     Thank you, Lord, for all who in previous years have developed the technology that enables us to keep in touch with others without personal contact.

15^th     PERSONAL PRAYER:  Help me, Lord, to be patient - with others I may meet, with those who share my life and with the restrictions still in place.

16^th     Dear Lord, help us to keep faith with you, you have guided us through these dark months, you have upheld us in our fears for the future and been with us in our loneliness.

17^th     Healing Lord, we pray today for those working in the fields of mission and aid overseas.  Guide them to see and respond to the real needs of the communities they serve.

18^th     “Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.” Hebrews 10 v 23

19^th     Heavenly Father, we hold before you all who are in the turmoil of bereavement.  Be close to them as they struggle to define how life will be without their loved one.

20^th     Loving Lord, be near those who are homeless.  Strengthen and support them and those who work with them.

21^st         We hold before you and thank you for the many dedicated midwives who help bring new lives into this world.  Bless them and the babies they deliver.
