Day of Prayer for Peace in Ukraine

Friday 25 March 2022

The situation in Ukraine is desperate and urgent. Our Lord is the Prince of Peace and encourages us to pray for peace.

Bishop Peter, along with other church leaders here in Christchurch is calling each of our churches to a day of Prayer.

Churches have been asked to open their doors between 7am and 7pm for people to enter to pray for Peace in Ukraine. Additionally, churches may also advertise a specific hour of prayer during the course of that day, Fri 25 March.

Prayer Points:

• For peace and stability to be restored quickly
• Safe passage for civilians
• Safe aid routes
• The Church in Ukraine and surrounding countries
• Medical aid within Ukraine
• Refugee care and relief in border countries
• For God’s protection over children and families as they are uprooted from their hometowns.
• For Aid organisations to be able to quickly reach the most vulnerable families with the resources they need most.
