Prayer Topics

• Clare, Caroline and Norman on Auntie Jean’s passing (funeral on 22nd)

• Liz Young

• Those who welcome prayer support, but anonymously, and yet are known to God

• Members missing our normal social contact at church

• Melksham Town Councillors

• Darby family and Laura-Lee Lovering

For reflection

• How have you seen God at work in the last 5 months?

• What do you think God is saying to us —

• As we reflect on these past 5 months?

• As we think about the future?

• How might this affect how we “do church” in the future, both short-term and longer-term?
