Reading this week's prayers is Jake Eggertsen. Jake is Rector of St James' Trowbridge and St Leonard's Keevil, and Rural Dean of Bradford Deanery. He is married to Nicola, a Christian counsellor, and together they share the joy and chaos of raising three children—and keeping up with their spirited labradoodle, Ginny.
