An Official Prayer of Remembrance for HRH Prince Philip
O Lord our Heavenly Father, Almighty and Everlasting God;
we remember before you the late Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,
in thankfulness for the blessings with which you bestowed him;
for his loyalty and service to our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth and to our nation;
for his desire to give young people greater opportunities
through the award scheme in his name;
have mercy, we pray, on Elizabeth our Queen and all the Royal family;
be gentle with them in their grief,
show them the depths of your love
and show them a glimpse of heaven;
and we pray that you give us grace that,
having these mercies in remembrance,
we may with one heart and one mind
set forward the welfare for this land and Commonwealth,
and hasten the coming of your kingdom of peace and goodwill
among all people through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
God bless,
Nigel.

Sharing love & Good News
In our 7 churches we seek to deepen our faith, individually and together, including through our Weekly Worship, Children's Work, Mothers' Union, Prayer and House Groups. To ensure our young people get the very best start in life we do all that we can to support our schools. Being part of a wider community we support and promote our local businesses and community organisations. Generosity is central to our faith so we seek to help wherever we can including through our support of Foodbank. We also help our community further afield through our support of Christian Aid, Compassion and other agencies in this country and around the world.
