Presidents of Churches Together in England have issued a call to prayer in the light of the Coronavirus pandemic. This is for all churches and people of prayer across the country to join on Sunday 22nd March, Mothering Sunday.
In a press release they said:
“This Mothering Sunday, 22nd March, we are calling all churches in England to a National Day of Prayer and Action. At such a time as this, when so many are fearful and there is great uncertainty, we are reminded of our dependence on our loving Heavenly Father and the future that he holds.”
As part of this campaign all Christians are being encouraged to light a candle in the windows of their homes as ‘a symbol of the light of life, Jesus Christ, our source and hope in prayer.’
The press release added:
“Whether you are continuing to worship as congregations or not, we have the great privilege and freedom to be able to call upon God, wherever we are, individually and corporately, for healing in our nation. We would pray for all in leadership at this time, making decisions about the containment of the COVID-19 virus, for those working in health and social care, and especially for the most vulnerable, whether elderly or those with underlying health conditions.”
