Faith and Society Update - July 2024
Dear Friends
As we prepare for tomorrow’s General Election, our Joint Public Issues Team (JPIT) is encouraging us all to pray and has written the following prayer:
Election Day Prayer
God of all power, on this election day be with us as we love, pray and vote. We pray for our country, for voters, for candidates and their teams, for election officials, and for a safe, free and fair process.
We pray that choices will be made with wisdom and actions will be guided by love. And as Jesus taught us, we pray that your kingdom will come and your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Amen
JPIT has also published a Post Election Day Prayer on their website. We encourage you to pray - and to vote tomorrow.
Below you will find a further selection of stories, news, resources and events which we hope will be of interest and useful in your church context.
Every blessing
Diane, Hilary, Jane, Mary, Mat, Mike, Paul, Sharon, Steve and Wale
