Each month will be praying for the various parishes and 4th Day Communities within Chester Diocese and for those in the worldwide community

Gracious God, from you everything flows and in you all things have their being. Forgive us for spoiling your gift of creation, so wonderfully crafted and freely given: for the times when we have forgotten your imprint on creation and have abused it; for the times when we have caused needless waste and damage; for the times when we have chosen momentary pleasure over long-term necessity. Grant that we may thank you for your gift of creation by conserving natural resources and by using only that which we need. May our stewardship of your world be a true example of Christian care. Amen
In this month we ask for your continued prayers for the deanerys of Chester.
CHESTER DIOCESE PRAYER CYCLE
God of Eternity, in a time of uncertainty, show us the opportunities in our chaotic world, remind us of our priorities in relationship to you, push us to see how our choices matter, and then fill us with hope in a new heaven and a new earth.
God of our future, may we walk boldly into what may come, as a people of faith and hope. May we be found faithful in the world in which we live.
Amen. Pastor M Flores

Go now to follow the way of Jesus:
See others as he did;
Dare to give freely as he did;
And to love unconditionally as he did.
Go, embraced by the Source of life, love and hope;
In the company of the Word of life;
Encouraged by the Breath of life.
