You are warmly invited once again to join in a collective prayer for the Parish of the Itchen Valley today at 11.00am (or to pray individually at another time of day that suits you better).   Potential areas of concentration for these prayers might include:

• For Peter and Georgie Walker as they plan their move in August to the Valley from Wincanton and manage the many details and decisions it will involve.
• For imagination and clear thinking for the Ministry Team as it thinks through how best to plan and lead services as the timing and scope of the lifting of Covid-related restrictions remains uncertain.
• For the momentum of the Parish’s ministry to be maintained during the quieter summer weeks.
• For Bishop Debbie and for strength and wisdom for her, as she contends with the demanding portfolio of leading the Diocese of Winchester temporarily on her own.

With many thanks.
