Today along with other believers in the UK, Christians gathered in town halls and civic centres to pray for peace. Here in York we had been invited by the Lord Mayor to meet in the Medieval York Guildhall. There we prayed for our city of York, for the nation and our world. The civic party were in attendance.

This was a One Voice event and many churches were represented.

The Spurriergate Centre led the prayers for the world. People were invited to place a small umbrella on a world map as they prayed to represent the covering of God’s care we were calling to God for.

I got a photo of the world map with some of the umbrellas just before it had been fully cleared away.

The Summer Soul team led the praying for the city of York. Hand shaped notes placed on the floor as we prayed for the city of York.

Umbrellas were used in another prayer station led by Sue Wallace of “Visions“. We were invited to thank God for the “umbrella” of His protection because the recent bombing attempts in London and Glasgow were unsuccessful. That got me thinking… Look for my thoughts on TheMorningFlight
