Prayer for Sunday

when we prosper save us from pride,
when we are needy save us from despair,
that we may trust in you alone;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Mission this month: Wycombe
Homeless Connection
- Pray for people across south
Buckinghamshire who are forced to sleep on the streets,
in cars or in other unsafe places. Pray that they would
experience dignity, compassion and hope, and that we
would help more people find safe homes for good.
- Give thanks for our volunteers
and pray for us as we refresh training this summer,
especially around trauma-informed support, and get ready
for another night shelter season. Pray for our
conversations as we challenge stigma and help people
better understand homelessness.
- Pray that together we would help
change the conversation around homelessness with
compassion and understanding. As people created in God’s
image, may everyone we meet know that they are valued,
loved and worthy of dignity.
Happy
Birthday to Guy
Rees, Tony Griffiths and Tony Chambers
News
Dear
generous and faithful friends.
Your encouraging messages, prayers &
donations for my long swim were
amazing.Thank you
all so much. I was truly blessed with
perfect weather & swimming
conditions. It was a long way but a
stunning location & a day to
remember. You helped me to raise over
£1400 for Level Water who provide
swimming lessons to children with
disabilities. Thank you very much

This is a
wonderful community event, raising funds for local
charities including the Friends of St Mary’s,
Beaconsfield Rotary for their local charity giving,
Cancer Research and Wycombe Homeless Connection. The
success of the Fair relies on volunteers,
including many church members, and we would be really
grateful once again for volunteers for church stalls,
including the toy stall, book stall, plant stall and
bric a brac as well as stewards for visits to the church
tower, helpers for cream teas, the bbq and the ever-popular
Dog Show. Please let the church office know if you
could be available to help.
Children’s
Work
In the
coming months we’ll be thinking about how
we can grow and enhance our Sunday
children’s work… It is important that as
many church members as possible are
involved in growing the faith of our
children. If you are interested in being
a part of this ministry in the future,
and our initial discussions, please let
Lloyd know. Thank you!
