Today is #internationalwomensday2021 and Ramsbottom and Edenfield Team Ministry, have a long history of women dedicating their gifts and skills to the church. Today we are fortunate to have the Rev Susan Wood our much-loved OLM, Pam Thomas our Reader Emeritus, Jane Thompson, our ALM’s, as well as all women who currently help throughout the Team without whom we ‘could not’ do without.

God of all, God of hope,

We pray for women and girls today.

That they will be all they can be.

Give us courage to speak and work

For equality and justice

Until the earth is filled

With righteousness and love.

Amen.
