Prayer

Prayer underpins everything we do as we talk to God about our hopes and fears. We have asked children and young people from around the Diocese to share with us some of their conversations with God about the Children of Light Festival and what matters to them

Prayer pointers

  • Give thanks for Matt Seymour and all his hard work putting the service video together. Pray that many people in the Diocese will watch the service and be affected by the words of the children and young people taking part
  • Give thanks for all the Deanery Synods and Chapters where the Children of Light Festival has already been on the agenda. Pray for the Deanery Champions as they settle into their role and discover the opportunities and challenges of enthusing their deaneries about the Children of Light Festival
  • Pray for the schools - staff and pupils - as they head towards the Easter holidays and engage with various resources that they can see the light and not the darkness
  • Give thanks for the creative ideas already been put into preparation regarding the Exploring Easter resources. Pray that many children, young people and their families will have a tranforming encounter with Jesus through them
  • Pray for the creation of the Children of Light resources - that they are God inspired
