Prayer Focus for the week Let us pray for : All who have lost loved ones during this difficult time of the Covid19 virus. All who are still suffering the after-effects of having contracted the illness. All those in hospital or having to self-isolate. All who are feeling particularly lonely and cut off from friends and family. Let us give thanks for : The scientists who have worked so hard to bring about the life-saving vaccines. The doctors, nurses and hospital workers who have worked so hard during all these months to bring healing and comfort to their patients. Those who have worked in shops and pharmacies, and those who have kept transport running. For Pastor Martin who has continued to bring his loving teaching to us while we could not meet together, and despite his poor health. And last but not least :Let us give thanks that Christ Church is able to open its doors once again, to enable us to meet together to praise and worship God. Father God, we pray that You would continue to bless Your people and that we would always show Your love and comfort to all in need.
