Prayers for Parliament and the Nation: Friday, 20 July 2018
" I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. "
- 1 Timothy 2:1-4

The drop may be due to fewer people attending church services and also fewer making regular, planned donations.
