Diocesan Prayer Diary: continuing to pray for the parishes of Burnham and Walsingham Deanery, including the Shrine of Our Lady. The additional collect for today and Vision prayer:-

Holy Spirit, sent by the Father,
ignite in us your holy fire;
strengthen your children
with the gift of faith,
revive your Church
with the breath of love,
and renew the face of the earth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Christ of transformation,
sow deep into the soil of our hearts and parishes,
your seeds of prayerful listening, conversation
and discernment:
then nurture their growth, we pray,
with the gentle rains of your Spirit
that they may flower and fruit into new ways
of revealing the abundant life you offer
and long for us to share.

Response forms will be available at the 8am service or e-mail access4acle@gmail.com One possible plan is on display at the back.

The June and July Farmers’ Markets will take place; but we need new management in place if it is to continue beyond the summer: offers to Diane Wynne-Fitzgerald, please.
