Prayers for the period 1 – 14 February 2026
Barista God, may we be coffee bean followers, willing to be ground and shaped, and so infused with your love as to bring a richness of flavour. Bubble and percolate within us, bring up hidden depths, that people may taste and recognize your goodness. And may Love be at the heart of all that we own to be and do.

Care for Creation Lord, open our eyes each day to see something new and wonderful in your world, so we may choose to be more considerate towards your creation during this week.
We pray for A Rocha and its partners, including the Methodist Church as they seek to encourage churches to express love for God's creation in management of buildings and land, community and global leadership, lifestyle, worship and teaching. We pray especially for a greater uptake of Eco-Church in North Wales where presently there are few churches involved in the scheme.

A Prayer for LGBT+ History Month
​
God of Community, encompassing all that was, that is and that can be, who brings to birth each precious being in your creation; we thank you for our capacity to love, and for your love poured out on us. We pray for your blessing on our LGBTQIA+ Community. May our Common Life be enriched by their presence, and blessed by their gifts. Grant us Grace and Humility to heal past hurts, and transform us, that together we may take our place in your Kingdom. Amen (Rev Canon Sarah Jones)
World
​
Open a news website, app or newspaper. Ask God to help the people involved in the first story you see or hear. Delve deeper, look at the World or international section, consider what you uncover then…….
Pray for peace in areas where there is war and conflict (The Middle East, Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen, many others). Pray for justice in places where there is intolerance, prejudice, racism. Pray for love to abide in places where there is selfishness.
Church
​
We pray for those members of our church family and extended connections who are grieving the loss of loved one, or unwell, or recovering from operations at this time and in need of our thoughts and prayers. Let us focus on each and ask God to bless them with an outpouring of love and wholeness.
Obtain a copy of your church notices and pray for each person, each event or activity mentioned and hold before God, inviting God to infuse each with God’s Spirit of life and love.
We pray for the Synod Policy committee meeting on 07/02/26, the Bangor Cytun meetings on 05/02/26 and 11/02/26, and for those churches in our Circuit with church council meetings in the next few weeks, that there will be a spirit of love and belonging amongst people attending, and that wisdom and sound judgment will be exercised.
We pray for St Paul’s, as it prepares for its next Messy Church this month; that children and parents attending will connect with the activities and message, enjoy themselves and that new relationships within the community will be formed or existing ones strengthened.
We pray for Grace O’Boyle, the Youth For Christ director and her work with the youth of Bangor which is partly being funded through St John’s Methodist Church.
We pray for the congregation at Capel Zinc, that they might be encouraged by their strong sense of community and find new ways to connect with people who live close by. We pray particularly that the monthly community lunches will continue to grow the contacts and deepen relationships within the community.
We pray for those at Holyhead involved in the Open the Book group going into 4 different schools between 2 – 6 February , that the message contained in the story told will give blessing to those who hear it and that the team will find the receive strength as they progress through the week.
We give thanks for the steady progress being made at Amlwch with the Churches Together, and especially for the encouraging service and discussion group which took place in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. We pray for those who will attend the next meeting on Tuesday 3 February and pray that they will be guided how to best proceed with joint events and activities in the next few months.
Loving God, bless all those we meet today and those who will give us some part of themselves; their love, their knowledge, their wisdom and their grace. May we gladly receive our neighbours into our lives and in doing so meet you, the God of all grace. Shape us, Holy God in and through our neighbours this day. Surround us with your free and generous love. Amen
