15/09/2025(1 event) International Day of Democracy 
International Day of Democracy This video (1:20) charts how people in the U.K got the vote!
This is a video (1:34) from 2015 about the importance of democracy. Spend a few moments now thinking about why democracy is important? Just imagine living somewhere where you are treated like you don't matter, where you're not allowed to express your views and not allowed to vote for leaders! Such a situation in South Africa many years ago inspired this song (5:35) to be written. (Why not try signing (that's not a spelling mistake) along?)
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 30 second video clip) God of justice, we pray for those who are denied a voice. Help those of us who can speak up to find ways to use our voice for the greater good.
We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

21/09/2025(2 events) International Day of Peace 
So, we'd all agree that peace is desirable but what is it? Here are a few quotes about peace (2:30) for you to consider.
This is a beautiful prayer for peace in Syria from Rachel at CAFOD: God of light,
In you, Lord, may we see a flicker of hope, Pour upon us all your glorious light, We pray as one the fighting may cease, We ask this through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
World Alzheimer's Day 
Here's a quite beautiful performance piece! (Video 4:42) A one minute reflection from the point of view of someone affected by dementia - Do not ask me to remember. This is a one minute PRAYER for today.
