Sunday Service Prayers
If you would like prayers to be said for village residents during a Sunday service, please email PrayersLymCh@excc.church or fill out a card and put it in the ‘prayer requests box’ at the back of church. You must state at the top of the card that it is for reading out in Church and include your name so that the team can verify from where the request has come; the prayer group will treat the prayer requests in the box as confidential. If you have any questions, please speak to Chris Kleinstuber, who leads the Community Prayer hour each Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Lady Chapel.
