The United Reformed Church laments with the global Church those experiencing persecution and violence due to their faith or ethnicity. Today we highlight the call from the World Council of Reformed Churches as it urges prayers for the Evangelical Church in Iran https://wcrc.eu/mashhad-church-prayer/, and the Methodist Church in Ireland as it condemns the Belfast attack https://irishmethodist.org/news/mic-statement-following-north-belfast-attack.
As followers of the Prince of Peace, we commit ourselves to pray for others in times of trouble, to encourage peacemaking, and to acknowledge that where 'one part of the body suffers, all suffer together with it'.
Please hold these situations in your prayers as examples of the struggles that many around the world face each day.

Update from Epping for Everyone

🥪 *The Biggest Picnic – Change of Plans!*
🌧️➡️🍵

Quick update for tomorrow…

The weather has other ideas for tomorrow, so instead of the park, we’re moving indoors - but we’re still very much on!

📅 Saturday 6 June
🕑 12-3pm
📍 Epping Quaker Meeting House, Hemnall Street, Epping

We’ll swap picnic blankets for a warm, relaxed get-together with tea, cakes and nibbles ☕ 🍰🌯

Please still bring something to share (homemade or shop-bought – all welcome!), and if you can, a long-life food 🥫 item or toiletry for 3Food4U.

Not quite the picnic we planned, but still a lovely chance to come together - and we’ll absolutely plan the big outdoor one when the sunshine behaves! 😎

Hope to see you there!

P.S. You can still park at Stonards Hill car park – it’s only a 5-minute walk.

This Saturday Epping for Everyone are holding their Big Lunch picnic 🧡

⏳ Less than a week to go – let’s start the countdown!
(and the weather should be on our side too! 🙌)

Just a reminder that Epping’s Biggest Picnic is nearly here:

📅 Saturday 6 June
⏰ 12–3pm
📍 Stonards Hill Park

Bring along a blanket, picnic chairs, something to share (homemade or shop-bought - both very welcome!) and, if you can, a long-life food item or toiletry to support the new Epping hub of 3Food4U.

Looking forward to a relaxed afternoon together, hope to see you there.

With Kinder Essex 💛
