Loving God,
As we step into the longer days of June, help us to notice the beauty of your creation all around us. In the warmth of the sun, the growth of the earth, and the rhythm of everyday life, remind us of your constant presence and care.
Give us courage when we face uncertainty, patience when life feels demanding, and hope when the world around us feels troubled. Help us to be people of kindness, compassion, and peace, reflecting your love in our homes, workplaces, and communities.
We pray for those who are struggling, those who feel alone, and those carrying heavy burdens. May they know comfort, strength, and the support of those around them.
Bless our churches, our neighbourhoods, and all who seek you. Open our hearts to welcome others as you welcome us, and guide us to live with generosity, grace, and joy.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Amen.

We’re thrilled to announce that the latest edition of the Whitton Times is here—full of heartwarming stories and exciting updates from your local parish and wider community.
In 2018 our church put together an exhibition called WW1 Whitton – a Commemoration.
Along with the Remembrance Exhibition an ‘Experience Remembrance’ for local school children and uniform groups took place. Six ‘Stations’ with displays and volunteers leading children through the themes of Conflict, Sacrifice, Freedom, Courage, Peace and Remembrance.
Commemorative Trees were planted at our schools with plaques provided by The Hunnaball Family Funeral Group and it culminated with a Sunset Service to mark the end of the WWI Whitton Remembrance with The Rt Reverend Dr Mike Harrison Bishop of Dunwich and The Worshipful The Mayor of Ipswich Cllr Jane Riley.
