The Collect for 2nd Sunday after Trinity Sunday

Lord God our Father, through our Saviour Jesus Christ you have assured mankind of eternal life and in baptism have made us one with him. Deliver us from the death of sin and raise us to new life in your love, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
 

Prayers for this week:

Diocese

• We pray for a deep spiritual renewal across all 27 parishes in Singapore and ask that the Holy Spirit ignite a fresh passion for personal discipleship and evangelism in the hearts of every believer.
• ​Lift up the Bishop of Singapore, the Rt Revd Titus Chung, alongside all priests, deacons, deaconesses, and lay leaders. Pray for divine wisdom, spiritual discernment, and physical protection as they shepherd the flock. Ask God to grant them the strength and foresight needed to navigate modern societal shifts.
• ​Pray for the Diocese’s massive community footprint, including its 11 schools and the 32 community and healthcare services managed by Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS) and St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital (SAMH).
• Pray that these institutions will be safe havens of healing, excellence, and holistic care.

World

• We pray and intercede for nations and regions currently torn apart by war, civil strife, and violent conflict—especially the ongoing devastations in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, parts of Africa, and Myanmar. Pray for supernatural breakthroughs in diplomatic talks, a softening of hearts among aggressive regimes, and the immediate protection of innocent civilians. Pray that international leaders will actively pursue long-term justice and reconciliation rather than retaliation.
• Do pray for the millions of people globally who have been forcibly displaced from their homes due to violence, political persecution, or climate disasters.

Singapore

• We pray for the President, Prime Minister, the Cabinet, and all government leaders as they steer Singapore through complex geopolitical and economic landscapes. Ask God to grant them exceptional wisdom, foresight, and moral integrity.
• Pray for a continued spirit of mutual respect and understanding across all races and religious communities. Ask for protection against any forces of division, extremism, or polarization.
• Pray that the social fabric of Singapore remains tight-knit, and that its people continue to actively look out for one another.

St Hilda’s Church

• Pray for the Vicar, pastoral, admin team, lay leaders and members across all services will actively embody the spirit of humility, gentleness, and love as they serve. Pray that this shared life fosters deep, authentic relationships where members joyfully care for one another and welcome newcomers into the body of Christ.
• Pray for strong spiritual ties and effective chaplaincy ministry within St Hilda’s Primary School and St Hilda’s Secondary School, that the next generation will be anchored in faith and purpose.
• Pray for St Hilda’s Community Services Centre including Friends @ St Hilda’s Link in its mission to support low-income families and provide vital professional healthcare, day rehabilitation, and social programs for the aging population in Tanjong Rhu.
• We continue to lift up those who are suffering in body, mind and spirit. May the Lord bring relief, strength and comfort and healing upon them.
