It is with regret that we have taken the difficult decision to close the guesthouse until, at least, the end of April. We will review this decision at regular intervals in line with national guidelines.
We remain united with you all in prayer, asking the Lord to watch over us all, especially those most vulnerable to the virus and these working in the service of others.
We will endeavour to renew the website more frequently during these coming weeks…….so please do ‘stay tuned’……..
Some prayers from the Bishops Conference of England and Wales that we can pray together:
General Prayer for Health Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Prayer for those in Authority Loving God, in Christ Jesus, the servant of all, you call us to the service of others. Grant to those who govern the community the skill to recognise its urgent needs and the strength to pursue the common good. Endow us all with patience and courage, that we may care for the suffering, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and sustain the needy. Through Christ our Lord, Amen
Prayer for Health Staff Wondrous God, author of life, you fashioned us in your likeness and breathed into us the life which is your own. Be with those whose special care is the health of mind and body. Fill their hearts with awe for the life which is your gift and sustain them daily in your service, that their hands may bring to others the comfort of your healing touch. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for those Affected Merciful God, come to the help of your people. Be our shelter in this time of peril and strengthen the bonds of our community. Bring healing to all who suffer the ravages of disease and assist those whose skill and art can put an end to this affliction. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. O God, our refuge and our shield, even when we walk in the shadow of death you are there at our side. Be with us, your people, in this time of danger: bring strength to the afflicted and protection to those untouched by disease. Give us love and courage, that we may trust in your power to save and reach out to all who need our care. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
