Friday morning prayers held weekly to bless our local community.
On Friday mornings, for just half an hour, we meet to pray God’s blessings on our local community. This starts at 9 a.m. and we are meeting together at St Cuthbert's Church, Great Salkeld -outside if possible but otherwise in the vestry. Contact Peter Pickthall for more details.
At present some are also choosing to pray individually in their own homes. All over the country similar groups are praying at the same time. This is a positive way of praying for the community.
A copy of the Friday Blessing Prayers is attached as a PDF file that can be upload - click on 'view attachment' below.
