We pray for all who suffer as a result of natural disasters, acts of terrorism, violence or armed conflict; for our armed forces and their families, and all who work in the emergency services.

Mothers' Union Prayer
Father God, as we prepare to observe the Season of Lent, help us to make sensible decisions about how we are to do this. May our aims be worthwhile for our spiritual development but achievable so that we will not feel that we have failed.

St Helen's Appeal
We have launched an urgent appeal in respect of some unexpected work that has come to light during the installation of a kitchen and toilet in St Helen’s Church.

NB St Helen’s church remains closed for the duration of the refurbishment programme.
