Wharfedale and Aireborough is an area north of Leeds and Bradford encompassing post-industrial towns, rural communities and tourist hotspots.
Our worshipping congregations within our district, all offering a warm welcome and share a unifying passion to transform lives, share the Gospel and sustain hope.
Our Circuit adopted a proposal that 2025 would be a year of prayer for children and young people, with particular focus on their mental well-being. Each Sunday all churches in our circuit will include a special prayer in their prayer time. The prayers will appear here and on our Facebook page. A team of prayer writers is being recruited to cover all fifty two Sundays. If you would like to be a part of our prayer writing team, please message us via: communications@wandamethodists.org.uk

Jesus answered them, 'The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.' (v. 23)
Loving Lord, who made me for your delight,
bless me with good use of the senses you created:
that I may use my sight to see the injustice in your world,
and respond with my heart;
that I may use my hearing to listen to the voice of suffering,
and respond with my heart;
that I may voice what is your will at all times, in all places
and respond with my heart.
Loving Lord, who made me for your delight,
bless me in your service.
Amen.
God of all,
Your dream for your people is that we may be one.
In this time of deep divides and damaging insecurity forgive us for the ways in which we have failed to show solidarity,
and failed to see beyond the identity-based fractures that can obscure the bonds of our common humanity.
Renew our commitment to the work of unity,
drawing hope from the promise of your limitless love which embraces all in true belonging.
We give thanks for the courage and commitment of all those witnessing to unity in the midst of fragmentation,
creating spaces for fellowship and accompaniment,
to sustain us on the journey.
Amen.
