Prison Fellowship prayers on Trinity Sunday

As we come to the end of another month of prayer with Prison Fellowship, we are invited to pray on this Sunday - Trinity Sunday… Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer…

As we celebrate and reflect on God as Trinity; we pray for the relationships of people in prison. We pray that they would be a source of life and love, akin to our relationship with the triune God. Amen
— we pray

The new Prison Fellowship Prayer Diary for June will be available soon - you can find out more, how to volunteer, ways to join in prayer, making donations and learning about how your church can support the vital work of the Prison Fellowship:

Public Panel Discussion: "No Child Left Behind: Digital Poverty & Roma Child Poverty" on 2nd June

As part of a British Council some years ago, I was privileged to be able to work alongside teachers working with Roma families and saw the life changing work being done by Christian groups with other agencies, to ensure equality of access to education. The work I undertook was in UK, Spain and Romania, as part of a Grundtvig project (Sara Iles, FCG media support officer).

This Europe-wide panel discussion, coming up next week, will highlight some of the key issues facing Roma children today with regards to lack of access to digital and other technologies which are used in educational delivery (event on 2nd June starting at 9am UK time, 10am Europe time)

Today we pray for willing hearts to partner with God in the pursuit of justice... praying for racial justice


Churches Together in England (CTE) joined on 25 May 2021 for #CandleOfJustice: a moment of action – commemorating the first anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. We are encouraged to continue throughout this week, and in the times to come, to pray and work together for racial justice.

An invitation to join the #CandleOfJustice prayers from CTE Pentecostal President Pastor Agu Irukwu… “O Lord, you are a God of justice, may we share your passion for justice…”

Thank you, Pastor Agu… and we continue to join with you in prayer as we pray these words…

Oh Lord, Every protest, every picket and every petition has been a cry to you for justiceEvery lament, every tear and every sigh has been a cry to you for justice You are the God of justice. “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;love and faithfulness go before you.” (Psalm 84:14) Justice belongs to you.

Today we pray for willing hearts to partner with you in the pursuit of justice.

We pray not just for ears to listen or eyes to see, but for hands to work and minds to think to bring about change for the better. Let this be more than a moment. Let this be a movement for change.

Oh Lord, we commit this prayer, our promises, and our plans for justice into your hands.

Amen.
