Prayer Cascade two: Thursday 14th April 2011

This week there are two new blog posts. One from, Rod Levene of Chapeltown and Harehills Churches Together group, is a list of suggestions for ways groups might like to pray together about the current spending cuts. The other is from Jonathan Dorsett from Leeds Churches Together in Mission that highlights the Church Action on Poverty ‘Close the Gap’ campaign and the impact the current cuts will have on inequality in the UK.

Suggestions for Prayer. This week please pray for…

• all in our city; that we will remember that we are connected, dependent on each other, and responsible for each other's well-being.
• those who are unemployed or facing redundancy; that the pressures facing them will be relieved, and that there will be supportive people, communities and structures around them.
• the Churches in our city; that we will find ways to respond to the increased needs of the poorest and most vulnerable in this time.

As ever please do let us know of other situations to include for future weeks at cutsarecosting@gmail.com. If you have received this from a friend and want to sign-up to receive it directly email cutsarecosting@gmail.com with 'sign-up' as the subject line.
