Prayer for Christ the King
Dear Lord Jesus, on this sacred Christ the King Sunday, we bow before You in humble adoration. You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, and we praise Your holy name. Your majesty and glory surpass all earthly kings, and we worship You with all our heart, soul, and mind. Thank you for your unwavering love and grace. Amen.
Prayer for all places of conflict
Lord, we pray for the people of Ukraine, the Middle East and all places of conflict; give them a sense of hope in their situation. May they strengthen each other and receive the love and nourishment they deserve. We pray that peaceful resolutions may be found, and that they will all know the love of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Prayer for the victims of natural disasters
God of compassion, hear our prayers for those who are affected by natural disasters: strengthen them in their hour of need, and grant them courage to face the future, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the sick
We pray for those who are sick and who ask for our prayers: Marian, Mark and Debbie, Mike, Joan C, Emma, Madge, Tim, Arthur. (We also remember silently in our hearts: Heather; Jackie; Ann; Dave; Daisy; Brenda; Monica; Hester, Kerry, Izabel, John, Paul).
Rest in peace
We pray for those who have died recently, and for their families at this sad time. Pat Grist
