Prayers and Resources
From your own home, you can use the resources below and you can join in community prayer at regular Zoom meetings, being held at the following times. Tuesdays at 9.15am, Mon, Weds, Thurs, Fri at 8.30am. If you would like to join, please email Sandy for a link. Find the weekly lectionary below and Prayers for this time here. In your own time – you might like to: find a place for prayer, light a candle, play some reflective music. If you have a cross place it in your space, have your Bible to hand. The Lectionary for Epiphany 2Readings: 1 Samuel 3.1-10[11-20]; Psalm 139.1-5,12-18; Revelation 5.1-10’; John 1.43-51. You might like to use these over this coming week, use your regular Bible notes or choose a favourite reading. First: Take time to settle into God’s loving presence. Perhaps using these words: Open my eyes, Lord, so that I may see what you want to show me. Read your chosen Bible passage slowly The Collect: Almighty God, in Christ you make all things new: transform the poverty of our nature by the riches of your grace, and in the renewal of our lives make known your heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Prayer for this time: Keep us faithful to you and focussed on you, Lord, whatever life brings our way. Whether we face good things or bad, joy or sorrow, ease or hardship, peace or conflict, let our lives be centred on you, our course fixed on your kingdom, our hearts full of your love. Amen. Intercessions: Remember those on your heart – and pray for yourself and your needs. And let us remember to give thanks for all the hard work and love of those who keep our hospitals and schools running, and our food supplies continuing.
Feel free to include times of quiet - simply waiting upon God. Conclude your prayers with the Lord’s Prayer and/or the grace. OTHER RESOURCES FOR PRAYER, SERVICES & REFLECTION ST PAULS Links to other sources for prayers Church Services are available on
