•	The staff and volunteers of the St Andrew’s family project and those who it helps
•	The growing closer together of our two benefice churches, for the ministry teams and congregations
•	Those taking the Alpha course and for guidance as to who we should invite to Just One
•	All who are sick, awaiting or undergoing operations or treatment and for those who care for them
•	All who are bereaved as they come to terms with the loss of their loved ones.
