Thursday prayers

This Sunday we will be looking at the famous words of Jesus in Matthew 6.19-24.

Look at the illustration below:

·       How would you have illustrated the verse?

·       Why did the artist put a lock to illustrate it and not a treasure chest or something else?

·       What’s your treasure?

As the reality of what Covid-19 means for all of life, we pray for every area of our family and community life.

·      Pray for the shop owners you know whose livelihood depends on the business?

·      Pray for those in critical care who have come under increased work pressure when many of us have appreciated space to work.

·      Pray for us as a church as we begin to plan ahead about how we will do worship and ministry. What will this mean for our vulnerable adults, our families, our children?

·      But more than anything else, this is a wonderful opportunity for our faith to shine.
