Pauline Matondo

I am a lay pastor and a local preacher, a role I’ve been blessed to serve in since 2019. Our church is a vibrant and diverse community, something I deeply appreciate and love about our congregation.

Having lived in Bracknell for over 20 years, this town holds a special place in my heart. I’m blessed with two wonderful daughters who have both completed their university studies and are now thriving in their careers.

As part of our community outreach, I serve as a volunteer chaplain with the Fire and Rescue Service, providing pastoral support to firefighters and staff, sharing in both their joys and challenges.

Our church is a welcoming space for everyone, and I look forward to connecting with you, whether you’re a long-time member or a first-time visitor.

Monthly Prayer

Lord, we ask you to bring peace to our troubled world. We pray for and end to war and violence wherever it may be. We ask you to bring peace to Gaza and for aid and support to reach those in desperate need.

We pray for all aid workers, protect them and comfort them with your Holy Spirit. We pray for Ukraine, and for everyone that has had to leave their homes due to the war with Russia.

Thank you for all the wonderful and amazing beauty in your creation. Help us to protect it better, ensuring it is looked after for generations to come.

We pray for all young people and staff returning to education settings. May they enter this new term with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to their ongoing studies. Help schools, colleges and universities to be a place of safety and community for all.

For young people who are considering their next steps, be that education, training or work, may they trust in you at this time and may your love give them strength, guidance and confidence.

We pray for those that are sick and ask you to help them get better. Be with them in moments of pain and uncertainty and bless the hands that care for them.

Amen.
