UK: Methodists about to launch their year of prayer! - 21 Jun 2005
"Pray Without Ceasing is launched at Methodist Conference on June 28th," writes Michaela Youngson, the UK Methodist Church Secretary for Pastoral Care and Spirituality. "We will start the day on the beach at 8.45am when Youth Conference Reps and others will be invited to write prayers in the sand. Later that day Pray Without Ceasing will be mentioned in Conference business and included in the evening worship. A booklet, postcards, bookmark and candles will be given to each Conference Representative and these will then be available for sale through mph (which provides Methodist church resources).Our website www.praywithoutceasing.org.uk continues to be developed.
Latest additions to the site are:
§ a chat forum where you can join in conversations about prayer!
§ an interactive prayer space;
§ sample press release for you to adapt and use to promote your local events;
§ lots of new ideas of creative ways to pray.
The site also offers links to other organisations that have a particular focus on prayer. We update our Prayer Topics and Events sections as often as we can, let us know if you have events that you would like us to mention by sending details to [email protected] and we may include them on the website."Do please pray for the Methodist Church in the UK.
