The Middle East. The situation in the Middle East has disturbed us all. Below is a prayer from the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem. There is an Appeal from the Anglican Hospital in Gaza (run by the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem) which is in urgent need of supplies. You can donate to the emergency appeal here.
O God of all justice and peace we cry out to you in the midst of the pain and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land.
Be with those who need you in these days of suffering; we pray for people of all faiths – Jews, Muslins and Christians and for all people of the land.
While we pray to you, O Lord, for an end to violence and the establishment of peace, we also call for you to bring justice and equality to the peoples. Guide us into your kingdom where all people are treated with dignity and honour as your children, for to all of us you are our Heavenly Father. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Please go to our Worship page or our weekly Dear Friends for further details.
We look forward to warmly welcoming you to any of our events.
In addition we have a number of active Bible study and prayer groups.
There is an active, albeit small, Mothers Union Diocesan Member Branch comprising both ladies and gentlemen!
