We are pleased to share that Mothers’ Union are an official partner in Prisons Week, along with the Free Churches Group and other Christian agencies.
Taking place 13th – 19th October 2019, Mothers' Union, and other Christian organisations working for the needs of all those affected by prisons, will join together to encourage churches and individuals to pray. The week is dedicated to thinking of and praying for prisoners and their families, victims of crime and their communities, those working in the criminal justice system and the many people who are involved in caring for those affected by crime on the inside and outside of our prisons. You can read their press release here.
Mothers' Union are delighted to be an official partner of Prisons Week, offering our members a fantastic opportunity to share more about how they contribute to this important work and for us all to join our prayers with Christians around the country.
Prison Week - praying with families….
Faithful God, who watches and waits with those who are betrayed and suffer; draw near to family members who are affected by crime and imprisonment. Give us your strength to persevere through pain and disappointment, soothe our anger and heal the wounds of separation and loss. Help us to know your grace to find forgiveness and hope for the journey ahead. Faithful God, set us free. Amen.
