**CHRISTIAN AID**

As we are not doing a house-to-house collection Hilary Thomas had challenged herself to walk 300,000 steps in the next 6 weeks which is a real target.

In supporting Hilary we will be doing something to support women, like Jessica in the photo, who live in Zimbabwe and are being so badly affected by the climate crisis, with crops simply withering in the drought so that they cannot feed their families.

If you can possibly sponsor via the specific sponsorship page below that would be tremendous - ANY amount, however small, will make a difference (and will spur Hilary on too!).

(For those who are in the know, the Christian Aid challenge was to walk 300,000 steps in May - but Hilary had only just got her step-counter is giving myself a little bit of leeway!!).

This May we're fundraising to make a real difference to families like Jessica’s. For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising. Covid-19, conflict, and the climate crisis are pushing mo...

PRAYERS FOR UKRAINE and All
Prayers for Peace as we wake up news of ongoing conflict and War - [adapted from words original from ]

Father of Creation,
God of Peace,
Our hearts are heavy,
Our souls as sad,
As we wake up to news,
Of war and conflict.

Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.

Father of Creation,
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The anxiety we feel,
Is nothing compared to that which,
People like us,
Must feel within Ukraine

Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy

So we plead for peace and justice,
In the name of him who said blessed are the peacemakers.

And so we beg for mercy and compassion,
In the name of him who said blessed are the peacemakers

We lift up to you the people of Ukraine,
For Men, Women and children
For those locked down at home,
For those fleeing in fear,
For those needing to defend their home,

Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.

We lift up to you the Church in Russia and everyday people,
Those that say “No war”, “Not in our name”
May their prophetic voice be raised,
May it be heard by oligarchs,
To proclaim ‘Lay down the Sword’

We lift up the people in Russia,
May the prophetic speak,
voices shine light into Kleptocracy,
To say ‘Take up the cross’
act in justice and peace for all,

Blessed are the peacemakers.
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.

We lift up to you the church and people in Ukraine,
May it continue to raise up a prophetic voice,
To act and love as Jesus,
To comfort those who mourn.

Blessed are the peacemakers.
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.

Father of Creation,
God of the Nations,
Bring down the beast of militarism and kleptocracy which brings destruction and desolation,
Silence the warmongers and profiters who add fuel to the fires of this conflict,

Father of Creation,
God of Peace,
We pray for world leaders,
That you would give them courage and wisdom,
To live and enact love and embrace justice,
To stand strong with peaceable hearts
Against bullies and despots
Who sanction carnage,
And command conflict

Blessed are the peacemakers.
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy

Father of Creation
God of Justice,
We pray for the cessation of war,
And the flourishing of peace,

Blessed are the peacemakers,
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.

God, our refuge and strength,
bring near the day when wars shall cease and poverty and pain shall end,
that all the earth and all made in your image, may know the peace of heaven on the earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

GROWING GOOD for LENT 2022

Join the Salford All Saints Team Ministry for our Lent course for 2022 - “Growing Good”.

This Lent we will explore how our churches and people can be faithful and fruitful where we are.

The six-session online course will help us explore common themes shared by churches that are growing:
• presence,
• perseverance,
• hospitality,
• adaptability,
• participation

Through individual spiritual, physical, and relational wellbeing churches grow in their love for God and for neighbour, and where communities also grow as places of hope and wholeness.

Prayerfully exploring the connection between social action, discipleship and growth and with the Holy Spirit, we will hopefully be equipped to grow new connections and make a bigger difference where we are.

Our course will be run online (on Zoom) and sessions follow the same format and should take about 75 minutes.

For info contact clergy via the info on form of via
