On behalf of the Northanger Benefice Rev’d Lesley Leon has produced a series of leaflets containing simple ways for us to join in with this initiative.  For example; pray for the people and places you see as you take the dog for a walk or travel to work. Pray as you read the morning newspaper for events and situations that particularly grab your attention.  The leaflets will be available to collect in churches in the Northanger Benefice. These can be emailed to you on request . Contact Rev'd Tony Pears the96@btinternet.com .
