Prayer for the First Sunday of Lent
Lord Jesus, You entered the wilderness, hungry and alone, yet You stood firm against every temptation. When the enemy whispered lies, You answered with the truth of God’s Word. In this season of Lent, teach us to trust the Father’s provision, to seek His will above our own desires, and to worship Him with undivided hearts. When we feel weary or tested, remind us that we are never abandoned— Your Spirit walks with us, and Your victory is our hope. Strengthen us to turn away from what draws us from You, to walk faithfully in Your light, until we share in the joy of Your resurrection.
Amen.
Prayer for the sick
We pray for those who are sick and who ask for our prayers:
Patrick, Mike, Joan C, Emma, Neil, Joan L, Brenda, John and Elizabeth L'E.

Rest in peace
We remember those who have died recently and pray for their families at this sad time. Gerald Barnes

Generosity Review at Holy Cross
The Holy Cross PCC is looking at financial donations and, as part of a nationwide CofE project "Cornerstone", would like to gather the views of those who give to the church. If you do give money to the church, even if on an occasional basis, we should be very grateful if you would find a few minutes to complete the attached multiple choice questionnaire. Please return to Mike Coeshott at mikejcoe@aol.com
If you prefer, you can also complete an online version
Please note:
1 The questionnaire asks for a code, which is 629126
2 The survey is treated anonymously. You do NOT need to fill in your name.
3 The deadline for responses is Sunday 1st March, although earlier returns very welcome.
