Bidding Prayers
Second Sunday of Lent (16 Mar 25)
Introduction (by the Presider) Let us bring our prayers to God, who is forever our light and our help:
- That all the members of the Church may have a good Lent (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
- That the people of Ukraine may be protected from disaster (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us..

The Presider prays for the dead: That those who have died may share the glory of Jesus (especially N and N) (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
Conclusion (by the Presider) O God, in you we hope — you are our constant help, hear the prayers we make, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
