Join us in a prayer for Holocaust Memorial Day which takes place every year on 27 January 🙏

Holy God,

On this Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the six million Jewish persons whom the Nazis murdered. Some names known to us but all known to you. We remember, too, those who survived and bore the physical and emotional consequences. We pray for our neighbours today, our Jewish communities who still feel the effects of the Holocaust and the fear that antisemitism continues to bring.

We remember, also, the thousands of other victims of the Nazi regime. Those who were disabled, gay, Roma, Jehovah’s Witnesses, political opponents, and those who were brave enough to stand up and say that what was happening was wrong. As we think this year of the need to ‘bridge the generations’, forgive us when we have allowed ourselves to hate others. Forgive us when we have chosen not to stand up against hatred, and forgive us when we choose to forget because it’s more comfortable than remembering the horrors of what has happened.

Yesterday, today and forever you are God. Your love endures forever. We hold before you all victims of genocide and hatred and ask that you bring peace and justice. May we never forget and may we be equipped to make a better world.
Amen. … See MoreSee Less

A quiet space at day’s end. ✨

Sanctuary is a simple evening service of chants, wisdom, and prayer. It is a place to pause, breathe, and be held in stillness.

We hope to see you there!

A Prayer for World Leprosy Day from The Leprosy Mission, a Christian leprosy charity 🙏

Almighty Father, the giver of life and health, look mercifully on those who suffer from leprosy.

Stretch out your hand to touch and heal them as Jesus did during his earthly life.

Grant wisdom and insight to those who are seeking the prevention and cure of the disease; give skill and sympathy to those who minister to the patients; reunite the separated with their families and friends; and inspire your people with the task set before The Leprosy Mission, that it may never lack either the staff or the means to carry on its healing work, in accordance with your will, and to the glory of your holy name.

We ask this for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ,
You bring us together in all our diversity,
as family and church.
In the face of so many situations on earth,
where hope has given way to despair
and hearts are wounded and emptied by disappointment,
renew our strength and unify us.
Help us to share Your hope wherever we find ourselves.
You are the true Light,
who casts out the darkness of sin,
despair and brokenness,
who shines into our hearts, releasing the joy
and the true hope of Your eternal love for all.
Amen.

Prayer for Iran 🙏

God of Peace,
We hold the people of Iran in this time of deep distress.
Where there is fear – grant Your peace.
Where there is violence – bring Your protection.
Where hearts are hurting – pour out Your comfort.

Loving God, we pray especially for those mourning the loss of loved ones,
for those who are injured, imprisoned, or afraid,
and for those seeking justice, freedom, and dignity.
Surround them with Your love.

We pray for leaders and those in authority –
grant wisdom, restraint, and compassion.
Turn the hearts of those with power toward healing,
not harm; toward reconciliation and peace

In our prayers, we remember our sisters and brothers
who worship with us in our churches here in Britain
We thank you, God, for the blessing they bring to our church communities.
God of mercy, we ask for Your Spirit to move in Iran –
to bring peace, hope, and a future of justice.
May Your love be known by every person affected by these events.

Amen.

In light of recent news from Venezuela, the local church is asking the global church to join them in prayer.

“The church, like the country, is living in uncertainty,” shares ‘Daniel’, a pastor in Venezuela. “Very little information is available, and a state of emergency has been declared across much of the nation. Out of fear, people have been instructed to remain in their homes.”

We ask for prayer that God would have mercy on the people of Venezuela, protect the lives of civilians, and bring peace amid confusion, fear and uncertainty. Ask that the church in Venezuela is strengthened by the Holy Spirit to be the voice of peace and wisdom in the country. … See MoreSee Less
