In Teme Valley South, we pray our communities of Eastham, Rochford, Stanford, the Hanleys, Stoke Bliss and Kyre as we continue to work together with our Mission Enabler, Susan Blagden in finding new ways to share our skills and talents as we go forward together with God.

“I am not anxious to retire — I am deeply attached to Worcestershire and Dudley, and love being Bishop here! However, I shall be 70 in February and feel, under God, that now is the right time to leave.' - John Inge

As we mark a year since the Coronation, I continue to pray for King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Royal Family.

May God guide, comfort and strengthen them in their service to us all.

Almighty God, bless King Charles, and all who are in authority under him; that they may order all things in wisdom and equity, righteousness and peace, to the honour of your name, and the good of your Church and people.

Starting on Ascension Day (9 May) until Pentecost is Thy Kingdom Come, a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. For more information and free prayer resources visit:
