28/04/2020(1 event) World Day for Safety and Health at Work This day is set aside to remind all of us of our responsibilities to do all we can to be safe and healthy at our places of work wherever they are! We all have a role to play:
CLICK HERE for a 75 second reflection on our own mission statement commitment to safety! A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video) Loving God, who, on the 7th day of creation - demonstrated the importance of rest and appreciation of a job well done, give us wisdom to know when to work and when to rest; help us be hardworking and industrious; while being calm and mindful of the physical and mental health of ourselves and others. Help us to be safe in our work practices and to appreciate our own worth – as well as those we work with. And where difficult conversations need to take place – give us words that will result in just and compassionate outcomes. We pray this in your holy name. AMEN |
29/04/2020(1 event) International Dance Day This is a lovely day to celebrate! Humans seem to have a universal desire to dance. It happens across all societies and it was wonderful in 2019 that we had our own flashmob dance in the Peace Garden to mark this event. Here it is! Here's another flashmob of joy! And here's a wonderful song - I HOPE YOU DANCE:
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video) Creator God, we thank you for the beauty of dance. Help us to leap with your joy, to stretch with your passion, to balance with your strength as we express our thoughts and emotions. May our dancing always be a spirit-filled, life-giving expression of our humanity.
We pray this in your holy name. AMEN

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video)Loving God, We give thanks for journalists who investigate, inform and celebrate.
Strengthen and direct all who write what many read, May they be courageous in confronting evil and injustice: May they act with honesty and integrity, And feel protected and empowered to challenge oppression in all its forms.
We ask this in your holy name!
St Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us. |
