BLACK HISTORY MONTH
01/10/2024 – 31/10/2024
Welcome to Black History Month at St. Julie's. We hope conversations might be started that continue long after the end of October.
Here's a short intro (1:16) for 2020:
A prayerful reflection (3:55) focusing on a conversation between a person and God:
So how much do we know of Black History? Here's a video (7:46) that might, unfortunately, be surprising.
The last video referred to 1919. So, what was that all about? Our city is significantly involved. Find out more (5:37)
N.B. This video comes with a warning about language used.
1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored.
So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University.
We've all probably heard of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott but have you heard about the Bristol Bus Boycott? (Find out more below.)
A PRAYER FOR THIS MONTH (available here as a one minute video)
Loving God,
Help us deepen our understanding, appreciation and experience of living as one people – all made in your image – all sharing a common home.
In this special month and beyond, give us courage to ask questions of ourselves and others – even if those questions and responses make us uncomfortable.
Help us move beyond the complicity of silence which allows injustice to continue. Help us not be party to postponing that day when all of your people will feel valued and loved - and that we arrive together at the awesome moment when there will be no them – only US!
We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

World Arthritis Day
12/10/2024
A short introduction (1:05) on the impact of arthritis:
Here's a link to the Versus Arthritis YouTube channel which has lots of short and informative films about this condition. VERSUS ARTHRITIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Arthritis is not a condition faced just by older people. This LINK takes you to an excellent resource about young people living with arthritis!
A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY (available here as a 1:00 video)
Loving God,
we place before you all who are living with arthritis:
we ask for your comfort when times are hard; when the pain is intense; when everyday activities are impossible;
we pray for all who care for those with arthritis;
that their compassion will be a source of strength;
we pray for all who encounter people living with arthritis;
that they will seek to develop their understanding and respond kindly and justly;
we pray for medical professionals - especially those researching treatments and cures;
that they will be relentless in their quest to make life better for others.
We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN
St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless.

1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored.
So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University.
We've all probably heard of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott but have you heard about the Bristol Bus Boycott? (Find out more below.)
A PRAYER FOR THIS MONTH (available here as a one minute video)
Loving God,
Help us deepen our understanding, appreciation and experience of living as one people – all made in your image – all sharing a common home.
In this special month and beyond, give us courage to ask questions of ourselves and others – even if those questions and responses make us uncomfortable.
Help us move beyond the complicity of silence which allows injustice to continue. Help us not be party to postponing that day when all of your people will feel valued and loved - and that we arrive together at the awesome moment when there will be no them – only US!
We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
01/10/2024 – 31/10/2024
Welcome to Black History Month at St. Julie's. We hope conversations might be started that continue long after the end of October.
Here's a short intro (1:16) for 2020:
A prayerful reflection (3:55) focusing on a conversation between a person and God:
So how much do we know of Black History? Here's a video (7:46) that might, unfortunately, be surprising.
The last video referred to 1919. So, what was that all about? Our city is significantly involved. Find out more (5:37)
N.B. This video comes with a warning about language used.
