The West Purbeck Benefice Prayer

Holy God we thank you that you have called us to be your people across the West Purbeck Benefice.

We praise you for the beauty that surrounds us, the people who make up our communities, the visitors whom we welcome and above all for the gift of faith you have given to us.

Help us through prayer and worship to grow closer to you, through service and care to reflect your love, and through mission to share your Good News with all around us.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

God's love

Come and Explore

 

Throughout West Purbeck you will find our beautiful villages and countryside such a welcoming place.  Whether you are visiting or living in the area, there is always something happening in the benefice for you to come and join in with.  See our Services and Events page for more information.

 

If you like exploring on foot, you can take in many of our beautiful places following The Purbeck Way West Route which begins in West Lulworth on the Jurassic Coast and heads north west to Winfrith Newburgh, east to Coombe Keynes

and then either back to West Lulworth or north east to East Stoke.


 

 

A prayer for the Holy Land

at this difficult time, 

written by Canon Richard Sewell, 

Dean of St George's College,

Jerusalem.

 

O God of all justice and peace we cry out to you in the midst of the pain

and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land.

Be with those who need you in these days of suffering; we pray for people of all faiths - Jews, Muslims and Christians, for all people of the land.

While we pray to you, O Lord, for an end to violence and the establishment of peace, we also call for you to bring justice and equity to the peoples.

Guide us into your kingdom where all people are treated with dignity and honour as your children, for to all of us, you are our Heavenly Father.

 

In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.
