Standing Order  - Thank you to all who give money regularly to this church using the envelope scheme. Might now be a good time, however, for you to consider setting up a Standing Order instead?

Account name: St Anne & All Saints DCC, 
Sort code: 309354, 
Account number: 00160571. 

Please pray: 
• For the peace of the whole world, for the welfare of the Holy Church of God, and for the unity of all. 
• The Global economies at this difficult time 
• For all those using our building 
• For God's blessing upon the church members and the local community. 

Pray for those in special need at this time and those recovering from illness: 
Phil Smith; Colin O’Shea; Les Cave; Steve Brooker; J R Lindsey; Marlene; Canon Andrew White; Florizel Anderson 

Prayer for Today 
Almighty God, purify our hearts and minds, that when your Son Jesus Christ comes again as judge and saviour we may be ready to receive him, who is our Lord and our God. Amen.
