15/09/2020(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

International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer Here's a little good news (1:47) regarding the capacity of human beings to solve a problem. So, we've done something about the ozone layer - which demonstrates that we can heal the world. Let's be resolute in finding ways we can contribute to solving the ongoing problem of climate change.

We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

A PRAYER OF RENEWAL God of Creation - we give thanks for this celebration of a new year.
