PLEASE PRAY for our leaders and for those that report the news to us. Help them to serve the world and to find creative ways though thorny issues of ideology and dogma. Please pray for us as consumers of news – that we can be wise and see through sensationalism and appreciate genuine positive intent to serve and create a better
world. And as our schools break-­up for the summer, please pray that holidays will be restful and full of love and fun and that our loved ones will return safely to us.

PLEASE PRAY for all those who work in our National Health Service as we celebrate its 70th birthday. Borrowing some words published this week by the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity Romans 13:7 says: ‘Give to everyone what you owe them: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour.’ Paying taxes is an intrinsic part of discipleship, not only because it’s a legal requirement, but because in the UK our taxes are used to meet the needs of the sick, the dying, the very young, the elderly, and the disabled – care of whom is a mark of true faith (James 2:14-17). May we gladly pay our taxes as a mark of true faith to show our love for our neighbour.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 6, 1-­13
Jesus found it was challenging to be a prophet and teaching amongst his own people. Help us to find a way to share your Good News for all people in places where we can be heard.
