Thoughts and Prayers October 2024

Thought for October:

Dear Lord for all Gentleness,

Draw near to me in the Autumn of the year.

As leaves begin to fall,

Let me remember the glories of harvest time,

The crops in the fields, the fruit on the trees.

Teach me to share the harvest of Your love

With those I meet each day.

Let the golden beauty of this season

Remain in my life and in my heart… always.

Iris Hesselden

Members Prayer:

Creator God, we thank you at this harvest time for the abundance and variety of food available to us. Empower us your servants, God, to work for fairness and generosity in the distribution of food. Help us to find ways to redirect surplus supplies that are rotting in one part of the world while families starve in another.

Please protect and bless aid workers as they strive to relieve the hungry and oppressed in war zones and where displaced people are seeking refuge. God, we give thanks that we can offer our concerns and prayers to you, secure in the knowledge that you will listen. Amen.

Candidates / Junior Members prayer:

Thank you, God, for dirty dishes,

They have a tale to tell,

While other folk go hungry,

We are eating well.

Fruits from the trees,

Crops from the land,

Fish from the seas,

For all good gifts of harvest,

We give you thanks and praise.

Amen.
