This is our prayer corner. Here you can find prayers to help you in your spiritual life and prayers for particular issues.
If you would like us to pray for you about anything please contact us and we will offer a prayer for you at the Sunday service and at morning prayer.
There is a prayer board in St Martin's church - you are welcome to come and take a moment of quiet, light a candle and put a prayer on the board.

We pray for the wounded and the captive,
the grieving and the homeless,

Most holy God and Father,
hear our prayers for all who strive for peace
and all who fight for justice.
Help us, who today remember the cost of war,
to work for a better tomorrow;
and, as we commend to you lives lost in terror and conflict,
bring us all, in the end, to the peace of your presence;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen
