Week of prayer for Parliament and Government, 7th-12th June
Dear friends,I am writing to remind you of the week of prayer for parliament and government, which is taking place this year on 7th-12th June. The bible commands us to ‘pray for rulers and those in authority’, and there has never been a more urgent time to take this command seriously and respond in prayer for our government and our nation. Christians in Parliament have put together a prayer guide, which gives 4 specific suggestions regarding how you might respond: 1) Include prayer for parliament as part of your church service on 7th June; 2) Pray through these issues during your regular prayer meeting (or hold a specific prayer meeting during the week); 3) Encourage individuals to use the 7-day personal prayer guide (eg: by printing out and distributing copies); 4) Hold a night of prayer, 24 hour prayer watch, or 24-7 prayer week. In addition, there will be events taking place daily in Westminster and Whitehall. We will be organising a group from Thurrock to go down to at least one of these (and the daily prayer walks are open to all). To find out more information, please take a moment to visit www.christiansinparliament.org.uk. I have attached a copy of the prayer resource pack to this email (the website also has individual versions of the various sections, and powerpoint presentations for use in church on a Sunday). Please feel free to get back to me if you need any further information, Yours in Christ, Phil Anderson
