Prayers for all those affected by the Helicopter tragedy


On Sunday afternoon I visited the King Power stadium with my family and we left an electric tea light each 'with love and prayers'. As we added them to the ever growing tributes to those who lost their lives we were struck by silence of such a large crowd. We prayed for the family and friends of those affected by what had taken place and for the emergency services doing their jobs.
The Bishop of Leicester has written this prayer
God of all grace,
You love all that you have made,
And your mercy is over all the world,
Comfort those who grieve for loved ones,
Strengthen those who care for the bereaved,
And support this great city of Leicester,
As we work together to express your love,
We ask this in your holy name.
Amen
