Prayer Time
The Sunday School children always remember to spend some time praying. They have especially learnt to pray at their bedside before going to sleep. When they pray they always like to ask God to bless their Mum and Dad, their brothers and sisters and, indeed, any other family and friends that are dear to them. Of course they NEVER forget to ask God to bless themselves too and keep them safe as they sleep. The children have even spent time writing their own prayers and the vicar has created some prayer cards for St. Hilary's upon which some of these prayers have been placed. See how they did below.................with special mention to Robert Alexander (for the wrong reasons!) and Amelia! (for all the right reasons!)
The children have been taught to pray what is called "The Lord's Prayer". This is a prayer that Jesus himself taught his disciples to use when praying to God. (Priscilla Jane, seen below, loves to pray on her knees. She is kneeling here at the altar rail for a short time of prayer. Notice that even some of the local wildlife and church pets have joined her and are, also, in an attitude of prayer)
If any visitors would like to have prayers said for them for any reason at all the Sunday School children at St Hilary's would love them to visit Holy Trinity Church, Stratford upon Avon website where they can send them by email. The prayers will then be placed on the altar of Holy Trinity as they are being prayed for by the church congregation. Prayer

Collect (Prayer) for 4th May 2008The Sunday after Ascension DayO God the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: we beseech you, leave us not comfortless, but send your Holy Spirit to strengthen us and exalt us to the place where our Saviour Christ is gone before, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. This site is dedicated to Hilary Doreen Davies who departed this life 26 November 2003 aged 71 after 23 years of chronic illness with strokes, cancer and arthritis. St Hilary's Church is our tribute to a brave lady who was mother to Sarah, Catherine, the late Rachel, the late John and wife to the late Owen Williams Davies. [Guest

The children often wonder if Magnifi-Cat prays too. Indeed
he does!! He would be SO lost without the children visiting him in
church. He must pray that they are safe when they go home so that they
will be able to return to church on the following Sunday. Of course the
children don't come to church JUST to visit Magnifi-Cat but he really
believes that they do. He is a very vain cat.
