Are you interested in developing your prayer life? Would you like to explore creative prayer? Why not take part in our next Y-Pray? Conference? Find out more here.

It is less than a month to the Day of Prayer so most of us are busy with preparations and rehearsals. Instructions on how to make paper carnations can be found here.

Please pray that there will be no snow this year but, just in case there is, we suggest that you: –
• Find out what conditions are likely to be locally and hold your service only if it is safe to do so; ‘common sense’ should prevail.

• Postpone your service rather than cancel it. It would be a shame to waste all the preparation and many charities benefit from the offering made at the service.

The above advice is part of a longer letter which has been sent to those branches who wrote with queries and suggestions following last year’s disruptions. If you would like to see a copy of it, please contact the office.

I hope and pray that we shall all enjoy and learn from the service that the Christian women of Slovenia have put together for us. Please don’t forget to take some photographs of the action but above all please remember that the Day of Prayer is not the end: after informed prayer comes prayerful action.

Every blessing

Elizabeth
