Rev Pete Spiers, of St Luke's Church, commented: "Our aim is to pray for the nations of the world, the region and the neighbourhood.

"We believe that God is interested in all of life and that he answers prayer and we believe that in times of uncertainty and difficulty people want to pray.

Rev Spiers added: "As part of this week, we are eager to give people the opportunity to make a prayer request which we will then place in our prayer space so that throughout the week, people can know they are being prayed for."
