PRAYER
Prayer is at the core of who we are. In a world where there's a growing call for intercession as creation cries out, we want to be part of this movement as a church and as individuals. We aim for our lives, our homes, and our church to be places where seeking God in prayer comes first.
Remember in your Prayers this week
God’s peace and justice in all war-torn places of the world, especially the Middle East, Ukraine, Sudan
Wisdom for our government as they make decisions in an increasingly confusing political landscape
Businesses and individuals struggling with price rises – especially increased fuel prices and the knock on effect

Monthly Prayer Focus: May
Living in the Light of Grace
As we continue through the season of Eastertide, we are reminded that Easter is not simply a single day of celebration, but an ongoing invitation to live in the light of resurrection hope. In the weeks after Easter, we reflect on what it means to walk each day with renewed faith, confidence, and trust in God’s presence with us. The risen Christ meets people not only in moments of joy and certainty, but also in times of doubt, weariness, and change, offering peace and reassurance along the way.
One of the greatest gifts we are given in this season is grace. Grace is God’s loving kindness freely offered to us — not because we have earned it, but because we are deeply loved. It is grace that lifts us when we feel burdened, forgives us when we fall short, and encourages us to begin again with hope. In a world that can often feel demanding and unforgiving, grace reminds us to live differently: with patience, compassion, humility, and care for one another.
Eastertide encourages us not only to receive grace, but also to share it. Small acts of kindness, words of encouragement, forgiveness, and generosity can become signs of resurrection life in the everyday moments of our communities and families. As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect the grace we ourselves have received, bringing light and hope to those around us.
This month, may we take time to notice where God’s grace is already at work in our lives — in moments of peace, unexpected encouragement, supportive friendships, and opportunities for renewal. And may we be open to becoming channels of that grace for others.
Prayer for the Month
Risen Lord,
thank You for the hope and new life of Easter.
Help us to live each day in the light of Your grace,
receiving Your love with thankful hearts
and sharing that love generously with others.
Where we feel weary, bring renewal.
Where we feel uncertain, bring peace.
Where relationships are strained, bring compassion and understanding.
Teach us to walk faithfully with You
and to reflect Your kindness in all we do.
May Your grace shape our words, our actions, and our lives,
today and always.
Amen.
