Father, we pray for St Philip’s at a time of change, as our Curate, Pete moves onto St Helens and we start our building project to convert the toilets and vestry. We pray a blessing on Pete and his young family in their new ministry in St Helens. We pray that all building work will go smoothly and that applied for grants and fundraising will find the money to fund this project. We also pray for new initiatives – our Time Out Tuesday for young and old to engage and flourish; for young leaders to grow in faith and confidence and for work with the school. Amen
Minister: Rev Sue Smith

The Sankey Valley Circuit welcomes two presbyters new to the Circuit and we look forward to their ministry among us. We give thanks for Sian who joins us as a probationer presbyter having completed her training at Queen’s College. Sian comes from a background primarily of Welsh Methodism. Ruffin Binda and his family come to us from South Africa and face a significant cultural change. We pray that both ministers and their families will soon feel comfortable in their new homes and communities, and that we will learn from the new insights they have to share with us.
