Loving God,
We acknowledge we carry both sorrow and joy in our hearts.
In moments of grief, be our comfort and our strength;
sit with us in silence when words fail,
and remind us that we are not alone.
In moments of joy, teach us gratitude,
that we may recognise your light in laughter,
your hope in new beginnings,
and your grace in every blessing.
Hold our tears and our smiles both,
and help us trust that even sorrow can lead us towards a deeper joy and understanding in you. Amen.

Jona Sewell, Chair, Newcastle upon Tyne District

O God,
give us words today
to pray for peace
in this world as it is,
where drones fly
and bullets kill,
where children cry
and parents weep,
when leaders speak hate
and turn from unity.

Give us grace,
determination,
and persistence,
to build peace
step by step,
handshake by handshake;
locally, nationally, globally.

We pray, full-hearted
and with all our strength,
for united nations,
days of peace,
shared silence
and a true sense
of the common good.
Let firing cease
and negotiations flourish.
Let unity be the goal
of all the nations
and all the peoples,
for you love us all,
every one.

Amen.

Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected by the tragedy at Big Church Festival.

We were at Wiston Park yesterday when tragedy struck, and we’re holding in prayer all those who have been affected — especially those who have lost loved ones, those who have been injured, and everyone who witnessed what happened.

We pray for the festival community, organisers, volunteers and emergency responders as they respond and begin to process this deeply distressing event.

God of comfort, be close to every heavy heart 🙏 … See MoreSee Less

I am praying for all those affected by the devastating flash floods in Nepal and Tibet.

I pray for those who are grieving, and for those who are still waiting for news of their missing loved ones. I pray for the emergency workers in the region, operating in immensely difficult conditions to rescue people and bring relief. I pray too for those who are injured, and for the doctors and nurses working tirelessly to bring healing and rebuild lives.

Into the hands of our loving God, and in the name of Jesus Christ, I place all those who watch, wait and weep. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. … See MoreSee Less

Creator and loving God,

We pray for all people, creatures, and the natural world suffering in this time of extreme heat and wildfires. We remember communities living with the devastation of fires, those who have lost homes or been displaced, and all who face fear, loss, and uncertainty.

We give thanks for the courage and dedication of firefighters, mountain rescue teams, emergency services, land managers, and volunteers who work in dangerous conditions to protect lives, homes, wildlife, and your creation. Keep them safe, strengthen them when they are weary, and grant them wisdom in all they do.

We are sorry for the ways we have contributed to the changing climate. Have mercy on us, and help us to be the people your earth needs us to be living with wisdom, care, and hope.

Bring healing to the land that has been scarred, comfort to those who grieve, and renewal to all creation.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. … See MoreSee Less

📢🙏🧵💚 Calling all Cornish churches…and those who pray
This Sunday we will continue to draw the nine year thread of prayer for Grenfell from Cornwall. This is a thread which weaves back unbroken to that shocking morning, June 14 2017, with many Cornish churches and individuals holding the community in prayer from 300 miles away.

This 9th anniversary, on Sunday, if you’re connected to a church, or simply are the ‘praying kind’ yourself, please remember the Grenfell families in your reflections.

You might like to use or share the prayer below, written for us by Bishop Hugh in 2024, which is, sadly as relevant now as then.

Points of focus:
💚 This will be the last year for the community with the tower – which is being dismantled – still present as a focus for their remembrance. This will be especially hard for many for whom it is the last resting place of their loved ones.
💚 Criminal charges (against up to 50+ individuals and 20 companies) will not be brought until 2027 and trials are not expected until 2029. Waiting 12 years for any hope of justice exhausting and unimaginably painful.

Let us know if you’ll be including Grenfell in your reflections this weekend. Thank you! 🙏

A Prayer for Grenfell,
From Cornwall, with Love 💚

Holy God,
We pray for people and communities hurt and harmed by the Grenfell fire; Grant them your presence and peace.
We pray for people and communities carrying the consequences of injustice and inequality; Grant them your justice and judgement.
We pray for people and communities fighting for change and a better future; Grant them your healing and hope.
Holy God, holy and strong, be with the people and communities of Grenfell.
Amen

Today is Rogation Sunday, an ancient church festival that provides an opportunity for churches to seek blessing for their rural communities.

As we mark Rogation Sunday, we remember and pray for the individuals in our rural communities that are trapped in modern slavery.

Today is Rogation Sunday 🌾

Rogation Sunday is a time when we ask God’s blessing on newly emerging crops. It traditionally involves walking the boundary of the parish and praying for the growth and strength of the plants.

Nowadays we don’t rely on locally grown food in order to feed ourselves; we have access to food from all over the world courtesy of supermarkets. That means that we’re not at risk of starvation if a local harvest fails, but it also means that we can become detached from both the natural world and the work of farmers.

While Rogation Sunday isn’t necessarily widely celebrated anymore, marking it can be an important and poignant reminder of the sustaining power of God’s creation.

Is your church marking Rogation Sunday? Let us know in the comments ⬇ … See MoreSee Less
