Hope for the countryside

June brings with it longer daylight hours and an explosion of new life in the bird, insect, and animal worlds. Give thanks for the natural beauty of our world and the way so many people have begun to interact with it in new ways during lockdown. Rural churches will need to think about gathered worship; pray for those making decisions at local and national levels to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and to continue mission in new ways. Give thanks for Daily Hope, a free telephone service with prayers, hymns and services designed to serve those without access to the internet (0800 804 8044). Also a drought is developing, which will seriously reduce crop yields (some estimate by 60%) and grazing this year. Pray for rain.
