• the Global economies at this difficult time
• all those using our building
• God's blessing upon the church members and the local community.
• thanks for God's presence throughout the season of Lent. We pray for a good response and the bearing of much fruit from Lent courses.
• the Riding Lights Theatre Company and all those who will attend their production of 'Inheritance' at Coventry Cathedral this evening. We pray that hearts and lives would be touched by God through this performance and interpretation of the passion narratives.
• for God's blessing upon Foodbanks, on those who give, and on those who receive, in the knowledge that it is sometimes harder to accept help than it is to give it.

Gracious Father, you gave up your Son out of love for the world: lead us to ponder the mysteries of his passion, that we may know eternal peace through the shedding of our Saviour’s blood, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
