Prayer in the park
To mark World Environment Day on 5 June, will you join thousands
of others in a national day of prayer for the climate crisis?
Prayer in the Park
is a prayer event uniting people and churches across the UK. We’ll be
celebrating the beauty of God’s world, repenting of the damage we’ve done to
creation that is also hurting people living in poverty, and seeking God’s heart
for a fairer world that works for everyone.
Just days after World Environment Day, the G7 summit will take place in
Cornwall where world leaders will discuss the global recovery from the
coronavirus pandemic. Then in November, the United Nations Climate Change
Conference (COP26) in Glasgow will bring together world leaders to take action
on the climate crisis. Decisions made at these gatherings will affect us all,
now and for generations to come – especially those living in the poorest
communities across the world.
We want to bring
these meetings, and the climate crisis, to God in prayer. Will you join us?
You can join in with Prayer in the Park on your own or in small groups, as
restrictions allow. Simply head outdoors to a park or other green space. We’ve
created a prayer resource with prayer points to help guide you in a prayer walk or a time of stillness in
God’s wonderful creation. Together, we will pray for our local environments,
global neighbours, world leaders and the church as we lift up the climate
crisis and the climate summits happening this year.
Please join our Facebook event to
find out more, or to let us know you’re taking part. Thank you for joining us
in prayer for the climate crisis.
Every blessing, Laura Young, Tearfund Action
