We give thanks for the generations of people in Bromsgrove that have taught of the love and forgiveness that comes from following Jesus.

Between now and 2043, the council need to allocate enough land for 12,155 homes to meet our town’s Local Housing Need (LHN). We already have land for around more 3,000 homes identified through planning applications and large site allocations, which means the council needs to find additional land for just over 9,000 homes.  The council is currently consulting on it’s draft development strategy which will see the housing and other infrastructure, such as schools and health centres, built on land around the town. The draft plan indicates that this field has capacity for 300 houses with land behind the cricket club and along the railway line providing 300-400 more.  Pray for the councillors and all those affected that they reach the right decision.  More prayer stations This is just one of 45 prayer stations around Bromsgrove for the week of global prayer. 1st September - 7th September 2025.

We give thanks for their work in serving those in need.  Marion, the chief executive, has asked us to pray for the following: - those who we support and walk alongside see the love of God in all that we do. That their hearts and minds would be stirred to learn more - that we remember God in all we do, even those who don’t have faith - that God guides us in next steps. We have done a great job in alleviating poverty but we are also called to prevent it.

Over the last few weeks, the English flag has appeared on lamp posts across our town and region and a large demonstration was recently held in London by a group linking itself with the movement. Their sudden appearance has worried some people but the people putting the flags up say all they want is to brighten up the streets and unify the whole community around the flag of our country. We give thanks for their desire to bring people together and the community spirit they feel as they put them up. Although the flag has always been flown from churches and public buildings, and proudly waved at national sports events, it is also used by groups who have violently attacked people from ethnic minorities. We pray that God comforts those who are scared and that God causes those who are using our flag to express hatred to seek forgiveness. Jesus, we pray for unity around the shared common values of England and against those who seek division. We particularly pray for the online space where peop...

Harwood Park is a community of just over 400 family homes built, mostly in the 1970s. Official statistics show that it is one of the least deprived areas in the country. Each Christmas a group of Christians from Bromsgrove Baptist Church put on a carol service in the park that is attended by people from the estate. There are a number of older people who have lived here since the estate was built and who are now old and infirm, relying on carers to come several times each day to meet their needs. There are three schools (Finstall, Aston Fields and Rigby Hall) on and around the estate, making it very popular with families. Thank God that so many families are able to grow up in a safe environment with good schools that they can walk to and where it is safe to play outside. Thank God for the strong community networks that have formed through parents and neighbours and over generations. Pray for the carol service and that people living here may come to know the joy and peace that comes from...

Until the reformation, Catholics worshipped at the parish church of St. John’s which was at that time a Catholic Church. After the Reformation Catholics worshipped in secret at Grafton Manor as well as at a number of local houses owned by the nobility.

In the latest statistics, there were 191 refugees and asylum seekers living in Bromsgrove. Currently none are housed in hotels. • 169 are from Ukraine • 20 from Afghanistan  • 2 from other places It is generally illegal for people fleeing war and persecution to enter the UK and so about half wishing to come here resort to illegal means such as crossing the channel in small boats. We pray for those grieving the 69 people who drowned in the channel last year and those who have died travelling here this year. Because of the dangers involved, 76% of those who cross the channel are men and overall men make up 59% of asylum claims. If they are successful they can apply for a ‘refugee family reunion’ visa for their family - if their family can leave.  We pray for the families of the Ukrainian and Afghan refugees who are still in their home countries facing the daily risk of death. We pray for peace in the world and for families to be reunited. Most refugees move to neighb...

Jesus was born in a small town. He grew up under the authority of local leaders and officials who managed the majority of his daily life. We lift up our local leaders today.

St John's church has Norman origins but is mainly 13th-15th century construction. The upper tower and spire are 15th century. It was restored by Sir G G Scott in 1858. We give thanks for the generations of people in Bromsgrove that have taught of the love and forgiveness that comes from following Jesus. Just down the drive at Amphlett Court is the meeting place of the Oasis Centre - a group of Christians that meet every Thursday to explore their faith a little deeper and support the wider church network in Bromsgrove.  We give thanks for the people leading and serving in the church today.

Government statistics show that last year, 38 households in Bromsgrove District were at threat of homelessness. 37 children were in temporary accommodation and two people were sleeping rough.

Lord, we pray for people without anywhere to live and ask how we can best support them.  Matthew 25:35 (NIV-UK)  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in BDHT are the main provider of  social housing in Bromsgrove.

Mechanics work long hours running businesses to keep our vehicles functioning as they should. Their good work reflects the sustaining work of the Father through Jesus: 'in him, all things hold together'! (Colossians 1:17) We thank God that we can trust garages to treat us with integrity and kindness and that, as they inspect, repair, and service, they minister to people's mechanical needs with expertise and skill. Pray for the stresses and strains felt by the garage owners that come with running a business, employing people and working in partnership with others. Pray that they are able to get rest. Pray also for all mechanics, whether in fixing dishwashers in the home or air conditioning units in industrial buildings. By using technical skills to carry out essential repairs, they provide assistance that ensures we are all kept safe and able to continue with our life, often without noticing what they do. May they be a calm presence when faced with crises, and bless others t...

Thank you for this beautiful open space gifted to the town by the Sanders sisters. Thank you for the churches and other groups that hold events here.  Lord, thank you for groundskeepers and gardeners. As they tidy paths, plant seeds, prune shrubs, mow lawns and remove weeds, help them to rejoice in the beauty of your creation. Protect them from the rain and sun and give them physical stamina as they work on their feet and hands and knees all day. We pray also for St. John's Middle School whose school borders the park. Give thanks for the many staff who work there and have dedicated their lives to teaching children. Pray in particular for the new year 5 pupils starting this week. Year 5 is the first year in the school and the 9 year olds will need to make new friends.
