Dear all
 
We are much looking forward to seeing you at our services this weekend, as we baptize Tristan, Leonora and Auberon at the 9.30 Eucharist, and then later in the day welcome Fr Jonathan MacNeaney (as preacher) and his visiting choir to sing Evensong alongside some of our singers at 5.30 pm. 
 
As the end of the summer term approaches, we are praying for our Year 6 Leavers at St Mary Abbots School, together with all those in our congregations for whom the new academic year will bring changes and transitions.  We also ask God’s blessing on our seven wedding couples being married here at the church over the summer months.
 
A number of people have commented on the helpful new practice of passing around a card reader as well as the collection pouches during the Offertory  hymn, as so few of us carry cash these days.  We are, as ever, very grateful for every offering made, which enables us to fund our liturgy and our community outreach, as well as maintaining our beautiful building and paying for our staff team.
 
We wish those who will be away during the summer holidays a safe and restorative time, and hope that those remaining in London will also be able to find some peace and rest over the weeks ahead.  We look forward to seeing you in church when you are in town, and hearing stories of worship in other churches across the country and the globe!
 
O Lord God, preserve upon their several ways thy servants who journey by land and sea and air, that they suffer neither wreck nor hurt: and upon thine own paths of mercy and truth do thou guard and order all our goings; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
 
God of compassion, you hear the cries of all who are in trouble or distress; accept our prayers for those whose lives are affected by storms and flooding, earthquake and wildfires; strengthen them in their hour of need, grant them perseverance and courage to face the future and be to them a firm foundation on which to build their lives; this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
With my love and prayers
 
Mother Emma
