BLACK HISTORY MONTH


01/10/2025 31/10/2025

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

Armistice Day


11/11/2025

So what about the silence?

 

 

This is one of the most famous poems of the First World War - CLICK HERE to listen to In Flanders' Fields.

Here's how this poem came to be written:

A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY

Lord of the nations -

We remember with grateful hearts

the men and women of our country

who went forth to protect the liberty we enjoy

but who did not return!

 

Help us recognise the debt we owe them

so that we may strive, in our own lives,

to protect the freedoms

that were won at so great a cost.

 

And so we commit to your safekeeping

those who have died in war;

those whose memory we treasure;

those who have sacrificed themselves

in the service of humankind.

 

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord

And let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.  AMEN

Children's Grief Awareness Week


19/11/2025 25/11/2025

Grief is something we all experience at some point in our lives. While no two people react in exactly the same way, there is much to learn from hearing about others' experiences and sharing our own when we feel able to.

If you are grieving and want to talk to someone, do approach someone you trust.
If someone who is grieving approaches you, don't worry - you won't make it worse. The worst has already happened. If they want to talk, just listen.

Here are some reflections on what it can be like to lose someone.

 
This is a video which you might find helpful:

 

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. AMEN

 

 

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING

Jesus, healer and teacher,  

you know what it is like to lose someone you love and you wept for your friend, Lazarus.

Help me make sense of what is happening,

because some days I feel angry, some days I feel lost,

some days I feel helpless, some days I don't feel at all.

Send me comfort and people to walk with me.

 

Help me through this pain,

and let treasured memories sustain me.

Help me to have faith that my loved one is now with you,

free from pain and worry.

 

Help others who are grieving this same loss.

 

I ask this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

AMEN
