This week's prayer:
When he was aged 14, William Wilberforce wrote a letter to a newspaper to say how evil it was to trade in slaves. He became Member of Parliament for Hull in 1780, and he was determined to fight against slavery. Many people opposed him - especially those who made a profit from the slave trade, such as those involved in importing sugar from the West Indies. Eventually, in 1807, he convinced the British Parliament to ban the slave trade. Just before he died, a law was passed to free slaves throughout the British Empire. William Wilberforce died on 29th July in 1833 and was given a public funeral and buried in Westminster Abbey.
Let us pray:
Lord Jesus, the Bible reminds us of the dignity and equality of all people, and you call us to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. At the beginning of your ministry you read out loud in the synagogue of Nazareth from the prophet, Isaiah, saying: “I have been sent to give liberty to the captives.” Today we will meet people who are held captive in different ways by being treated unfairly, or abused, taken for granted, overworked, looked down upon. Be with us, Lord, that we may help to bring freedom today by giving respect and support and encouragement. Amen.

Partnership School Visit
On Monday and Tuesday we welcomed 17 pupils and 2 staff from Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Foreign Language School. Close links have been forged between our schools when pupils from Saint John Wall visited China last year. Our guests were treated to a variety of activities in ICT, English, Maths Art and PE. Our guests were also treated to a very special barbecue put on by Mr McNeill and Mr Shovlin. Thank you to all the staff who helped make this a visit to remember and also to Raman Hamad 8SDO, Sanita Rahl 8CDA, Omari King 7ABA and Pritesh Parekh 9MSH who accompanied the visitors around the school.
