Prayer for the WeekPrayer for the week: by Canon Carol Wardman
God, our Comfort and Strength; Carry us, we pray, through the difficult days that lie ahead of us. Give wisdom and compassion to our decision-makers, that we may encourage and care for one another with gentleness and patience, and each play our part in restoring health and overcoming our troubles; for you know our deepest anxieties, and in the confidence of your everlasting love we are never alone. Amen. 
THANK YOU!
We were all very sad to hear that Melanie has decided to resign her post as Secretary for the Irfon Valley Parish. As a small token of our appreciation for her stirling work over the past years, she was recently presented with an Amazon gift voucher for £30 and a beautiful Autumn bouquet of flowers by Heather Davis. Thank you Melanie for all your hard work and enthusiasm, and that you are continuing to be the Church Warden for Llanfechan Church.
