Churches are calling on people to join together in a day of fasting and prayer for the holy land today 17th October. Please join us in prayer on this day. The church is open for prayer all day and there will be a short reflective service at 6pm in church to pray for the situation in the holy land – all welcome.
‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.’ Matthew 5.9
Lord Jesus,
who walked the land you made holy
and blessed those who made peace;
look with compassion
on the people of your land today,
Jew and Muslim and Christian,
Israeli and Palestinian.
May peace come for all with justice,
may war cease and all live in harmony,
and be the children of the one God
who you made known,
now and always.
(The Very Rev Andrew Nunn)
