29/04/2024(1 event) 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

01/06/2024(1 event) This day was set up by the United Nations in 2012 and it is designed to appreciate all parents for their "selfless commitment to children and their lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing this relationship." Of course, not all parents manage to live up to such high standards all the time. There are plenty of bumps along the road of parenting and some parents struggle and fail. Today though, we are encouraged to focus on the challenge of being a parent. A prayer for Global Day of Parents (available here as a video 1:35) Loving, Creator, parent God – we hold before you now – all parents.
Being a parent can be exhausting and overwhelming – give all parents the strength and resilience required to meet the challenges.
Being a parent involves making difficult decisions – Give all parents wisdom as they consider them – and peace of mind when they are made.
Being a parent isn’t easy – and all parents make mistakes, When this happens, help them to put things right.
And when parents get older and need looking after, May their children do so with patience, kindness and compassion, ensuring their parents retain the dignity which comes as being a child of God created in your image!
We pray this in your holy name. AMEN |
