Call to Prayer for our Nations : 27-31 Mar
Call to Prayer
The Presidents of Churches Together in England, together with our
partners Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, are calling the
churches to prayer as we approach the date when the United Kingdom is
scheduled to leave the European Union.
From Wednesday 27th March to Sunday 31st March the Presidents urge
churches in our nation to find ways to pray, and to enable church
buildings to be opened for any in their communities seeking a space for
prayer. Churches Together in England supports every opportunity for
local churches to pray together and urges Churches Together Groups and
other expressions of Christian unity to take hold of this moment to pray
together for our nations.
This builds on other calls to prayer from member churches over recent
months and reflects the increasing urgency of the moment as Brexit
approaches.
In particular, we suggest that as the Presidents of Churches Together
in England and other church leaders meet to pray at 10.30 am on Saturday
30th March in central London, churches throughout the nations may wish
to join in similar expressions of prayerful concern for the future of
the peoples and nations in the British Isles and Ireland, and beyond,
during that morning.
