Prayer for Friday 14th November

Almighty Father,
whose will is to restore all things
in your beloved Son, the King of all:
govern the hearts and minds of those in authority,
and bring the families of the nations,
divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin,
to be subject to his just and gentle rule;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Kate works for the Parish of St Catherine's, Littleton. She visits Flowerdown and Westholme Care Homes at least once a week visiting anyone in need of a chat or simply spending time in the communal areas.

She also visits those living at home who are adjusting to changes in life such as becoming a carer for a partner or family member, the transition into the formal care system, grieving for a life once lived or the loss of a loved one.

Kate can offer a time of reflection, prayer or simply a listening ear.

Our Benefice supports Karis Kids

Karis Kids

Karis Kids is an initiative, started in 2007, which brings hope to children orphaned by AIDS in Uganda. The Christian charity integrates these children into, and supports them with, adoptive families. The aim is to place orphans with the families of relatives, but when this is not possible, then with other households in the local church, St Paul's, Kampala. The majority of those in the parish live in the Okuvu slum, and this is one of the poorest areas of Kampala.
