A new resource launched by the Church of England on the 27th April

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has launched a free national phone line as a simple new way to bring worship and prayer into people’s homes while church buildings are closed because of the coronavirus.

“Daily Hope” offers music, prayers and reflections as well as full worship services from the Church of England at the end of a telephone line. The line – which is available 24 hours a day – has been set up particularly with those unable to join online church services during the period of restrictions in mind.

 

A "Worship at Home" resource can be found at: https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2020-03/midweek_worship_at_home_0.pdf

 

Prayers

Prayer about the outbreak

Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
