Black history Month HERE

Personal reflection
Britain became more proactive in programmes about the positive contribution that was made by people of colour to this country. Movements that started in the US triggered protests in the UK that led to positive changes. Our contribution to the first and second world wars was hidden until a few years ago. Up to about 20 years ago I still felt like a visitor to this country but now I feel like a citizen of this country. My ancestors helped to rebuild after the Second World War as they were the Windrush generation, I am a child of that generation. So, after 62 years, I can celebrate Black History as something positive, not forgetting the past but looking at what has been gained as a result of the input of people of colour.

Prayer for General Election
2024-07-04 08:00 - 17:00
God of grace and truth, in Jesus you embody your choice of us.
Bless all who make choices in this general election.
Clothe your people with gratitude for the right to choose our
government, and turn that gratitude into clear choices.
Give those who vote your spirit of wisdom and understanding.
Uphold all who stand for election: preserve their dignity, and guide them
in the path of integrity.
Renew this nation in honour for the stranger, respect for the different,
and cherishing of diversity.
When all the votes are counted, show us ways to foster the flourishing of all and be a blessing to
our neighbours.
In the name of Christ and the power of your Spirit. Amen
