Father God, we give thanks for your Spirit of Mission which allows us to step out in faith knowing that you are leading us. We pray for the work on our garden which allows us to be more visible in our community and gives us a space to invite the community in and to become involved in planting and caring for our environment. Give us the opportunity to speak and share our faith and to invite the community into our building and into worship. We pray for Transform North West who are using our school hall that they may reach out to the lost generations and help them to know your love for them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Minister: Revd. David Easton

We pray for our congregation and the outreach work with children and within the local community.

We pray today for members, visitors and friends of St. James and the surrounding community. We especially pray today for our circuit and visiting Ministers, local preachers and worship leaders as they help us all look to the future through the love and partnership of God. We especially pray at this time for our new church youth projects and for our larger community of young children as they take exams and prepare also for their future. Lord may your love and guidance be with us all at this time of renewal and change, in Jesus name. Amen
Minister: Revd. Martin Wood

In a time of transition and change we pray for the churches of the Sankey Valley Circuit and all those who hold offices in our churches. We see resources declining as ministers move away and no new ministers move in to replace them. Help us to see this situation not in the context of decline, bus as a challenge to reflect on what our churches do and whether we can operate more effectively by working together. We pray that the holy Spirit will show us how best to respond to the challenge of changing times and to see in this changing context, opportunities for mission and service. Remind us that God’s love for all creation never changes.
Superintendent Minister – Sankey Valley Circuit – Revd. David Easton

Father God we thank you for the seasons and especially the summer season. The days are longer and all of nature is showing us your gifts of flowers and trees and fruitfulness.
