International Dance DayInternational Dance Day 
This is a lovely day to celebrate! Humans seem to have a universal desire to dance. It happens across all societies and it was wonderful in 2019 that we had our own flashmob dance in the Peace Garden to mark this event. Here it is! Here's another flashmob of joy! And here's a wonderful song - I HOPE YOU DANCE:
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video) Creator God, we thank you for the beauty of dance. Help us to leap with your joy, to stretch with your passion, to balance with your strength as we express our thoughts and emotions. May our dancing always be a spirit-filled, life-giving expression of our humanity.
We pray this in your holy name. AMEN

World Press Freedom DayWorld Press Freedom Day 
Why should we care about press freedom? (1:13) So, how are things around the world? This video (3:2) compares the freedom of the press. What do you think of where the UK is ranked?
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video)Loving God, We give thanks for journalists who investigate, inform and celebrate.
Strengthen and direct all who write what many read, May they be courageous in confronting evil and injustice: May they act with honesty and integrity, And feel protected and empowered to challenge oppression in all its forms.
We ask this in your holy name!

So what is ASTHMA, what causes it and what can we do about it? (4:17) What if someone has an asthma attack? What should we do?
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available HERE as a one minute video) Loving God,
we hold before you all who are living with asthma - that they will receive appropriate medical support and be able to make the right decisions - day to day - to keep them safe.

We ask this in your holy name. AMEN |
