05/10/2020(2 events) BLACK HISTORY MONTH 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) 1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored.
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 Teachers’ Day Happy World Teachers' Day!Enjoy this really moving video (3:32) of some people reflecting on a world without teachers! Here's a reflective prayer for teachers (2:56) And you can click here for a 30 second prayer!

So, why is education for girls so important around the world?Here's what the World Bank says:“Investing in girls’ education may well be the highest return investment in the developing world.”TODAY - you are particularly invited to pray:that, across all faiths and cultures, women and girls would be seen as made in the image of God, with equal worth and value as men and boys; for protection of the girl child -whether that be in terms of gender selective abortion, female genital mutilation and forced marriages; for decision makers - in churches, institutions and governments - to smash the glass ceilings that prevent girls from enjoying full equality. And we ask our smiling saint - that champion of girls' education and well-being - St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us.
