Join Eddie Lyle, President of Open Doors, and members of our worldwide church family as they share how they are seeing Jesus at work at this time
On Maundy Thursday (9 April), join Eddie Lyle, President of Open Doors, and church leaders from the UK, Ireland and some from the persecuted church as they share what is strengthening them in this moment and how they are seeing Jesus at work where they are.
We’re all experiencing isolation at the moment. We’re not able to meet as a church or see extended family. The lockdown has affected us all significantly. However, many of our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church have experienced similar isolation for many years – worshipping in secret and often on their own.
There will also be the chance to celebrate Communion together as we recall Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross, reminding us that His body was broken to draw us together and unite us – even as we are separated now. Please bring some bread and juice or wine in order to participate.
Let us build our own faith as we look to the courageous faith of our persecuted church family.

The people of Cornwall are being invited to join together for a shared moment of prayer on Sunday morning (5.4.20).
At 11am, everybody is invited to step outside if safe, or go to a window, and quietly say the Lord’s Prayer.
Margaret Stevens, from Mounts Bay, whose original suggestion is being taken up by churches across Cornwall, said: “I hope this can be helpful for anyone at all who feels the need to pray in a time of great anxiety, knowing that others are praying too.”

I was thinking how can we bless the nation at this time when we are all stuck indoors, then it came to me gather a few of your friends online and gift to the nation a national conference that is free for everyone.
So I called a few of my friends and asked them if they would be willing to gift their time and guess what they all said yes. Now this will be an interesting conference because it represents a wide ecclesiology from Pentecostal to traditional denominational, from Charismatic to conservative voices, but then I’ve always been inclusive in that way.
Invite all your friends to join in. lets lift the mood of the nation over easter just send me a friend request here https://www.facebook.com/PrinceYinkaOyekan Click on the button for a friend Request and when the feed goes live you will get all the notifications.

They’ll be discussing how churches can adapt and evolve to support the emotional health and wellbeing of their communities in the midst of the current crisis.
Nick and Ruth be discussing questions, such as: How can we come alongside individuals when we can’t meet in person? How can we pray with those who’ve never prayed before? How can we partner with over-worked health services? How can ministers avoid burnout in the time of pressure?
