Will you join us to pray alongside Prison Fellowship this Sunday and in the days ahead?
Prison Fellowship’s mission is to “show Christ’s love to prisoners by coming alongside them and supporting them”… for the last 40 years they have been working with, supporting and praying with and for prisoners across England and Wales.
The Free Churches Group and our work in prison chaplaincy have worked with The Prison Fellowship (PF) for many years.
Did you know that there are two Church of England bishops who serve as what is known as ‘prison bishops’? They are Bishop James of Rochester and Bishop Rachel of Gloucester. The Bishop to Her Majesty's Prisons is an episcopal post relating to the church's chaplaincy to Her Majesty's Prison Service.
This Sunday we are encouraged to pray with Prison Fellowship for the work these ministers undertake advocating for prisoners.
Prayer for Sunday 19th July
We pray for Bishop James of Rochester and Bishop Rachel of Gloucester who are the “prison bishops” for the Church of England. Thank you God, for the passion you have given them for this work. Would you bless their ministry and their advocacy for those inside
Amen
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers…
