Global Poverty Prayer Week 2011 is fast approaching. This year’s theme is One Voice.
Churches, individuals, groups and organisations from across Ireland and around the world are invited to plead for the hungry, cry for the downtrodden and pray for those who have been affected by climate change.
Tearfund has a range of resources available to help churches focus on the theme. These can be downloaded from http://www.tearfund.ie/get_involved/pray/.
One Voice prayer resources can be incorporated into an existing service or prayer meeting, or churches might like to organise a creative one-off prayer event.
“Never has the church needed to gather together more urgently than today to pray – to call on God to come, to bring justice, to bring comfort and healing, and for us to actually not just offer up the prayer, but to become the prayer.” ~ Tim Hughes, musician
