Prayers for those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria

As we remember those caught up in this terrible disaster, let's each light a candle and join together in prayer at 9pm each Thursday night.

A Prayer from The Diocese of Europe

We pray for the people of Central Turkey and Northwest Syria, whose lives have been devastated by the earthquake. Be present, O Lord, our Good Shepherd, to bring comfort, relief, shelter and human kindness. Shield the people who suffer, console those who are bereaved, prosper the provision of relief, strengthen the work of emergency teams, and shine your light and hope in the midst of despair, and we pray this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Donations for the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC)

We will be having a weekly collection in each of our churches from 19 February to 12 March, in aid of the DEC.
