New Prayer Initiative at St Mary’s East Chinnock
We will be praying for households in a number of streets in our village per month, covering all the streets over the year. Each household will receive a postcard letting them know St Mary’s prays for the village and this month their street is the focus of our prayers. People can respond either by putting their written prayers in a prayer box in church, or through a dedicated email address, prayeratstmarys@gmail.com During April we will be praying for the households in High Street, Carter’s Lane, Portman Close, Chinnock Hollow, Odcombe Hollow.
