PLEASE PRAY for all those who have moved away from home at this time – to university, or to new jobs. Help them to find new roots, new friends
and confidence in their new place knowing they are loved back at home. Help all those with a duty of care for young people at university to be able to reach out to those in need.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Luke 16, 1-13 – Help us to appreciate and use money wisely to further our mission as your people here in Meltham, in the places where we work and play and to help those in need in other places.
