Prayer for this week

For the recent Pray Without Ceasing event, celebrating, affirming and resourcing prayer across the 33 districts of the Methodist Church in Britain,
We offer thanks, gracious God.
For 22,000 hours of prayer events, hundred of faithful people exploring prayer and seeking to be close to you,
We offer thanks, gracious God.
For the worldwide church, the body of Christ, in which prayer is never silent,
We offer thanks, gracious God.
For our young people, who challenged the church and helped us to prayer,
We offer thanks, gracious God.
Accept this and all our prayers in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Please remember in your prayers: Olive, Joyce, Neville and Heather.

Why are teenagers like cats?
1) Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call their name.
2) No matter what you do for them, it is never enough. Indeed, all human efforts are barely adequate to compensate them for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot.
3) Even if you tell jokes as well as Eddy Izzard, neither your cat nor your teenager will ever crack a smile.
4) Neither cat nor teenager share your taste in music.
