Today we #StayandPray for improved access to water globally, with a quarter of the world going without safe drinking water. God, we pray for greater awareness of this issue around the world, and for this awareness to lead to greater support for those without safe water.

PLEASE RT This Illegal Bill goes back to Parliament on Monday 27 March. Please contact your MP to let them know that not all "the British people" support a ban on asylum #RefugeeBanBill #RefugeesWelcome @BirmCTogether @CTBI @PublicIssues @BVSC @CllrJohnCotton @RefugeeTogether

[The Methodist Church @MethodistGB]

As Susannah Wesley used her insight, learning and strength to educate her children equally
we pray that we, the Methodist people, will continually use our wisdom, courage and diversity to turn the tables on injustice and embrace equity for all.

ICYMI: We've won the biggest conservation victory - EVER!!!!

Governments at @UN finally secured a Global Ocean Treaty that will protect our oceans!

This victory reminds us that taking action makes a difference and that people power works!

It's World Book Day and almost International Women's Day - so I can't resist a shout out to many of the amazing thinkers, doers & changemakers who inspire me every day, and who just happen to be women. #WorldBookDay #IWD23

Today we #StayandPray for greater education equality. Some UK schools have failed to meet inclusion targets for children from lower income families. God, we pray that all children would have access to good education, wherever they are.

[The Methodist Church @MethodistGB]

Singer Martyn Joseph recently wrote a song about a community who use a foodbank, their challenges & how they support one another. People in low-income communities can struggle to believe things can change, but together we can find hope. To change things, we work #WithNotFor.

[The Methodist Church @MethodistGB]

#AshWednesday marks the beginning of the season of #Lent.

Many churches will have special services, during which members of the congregation are given the sign of the cross on their foreheads, using ashes made from last year’s Palm Crosses.

#Pray with us today.

Our hearts yearn for a spacious silence,
where there is freedom to roam
and open space for wonder.
