Bacon's College Lent Appeal is raising money for the British Red Cross to support their work for the people of Ukraine.  

Amongst other things, we'll be:

• Having a sponsored ‘wear your own clothes day’ for £1.00 on FRIDAY 25TH MARCH.
• Selling yellow and blue ribbons for 50p to show solidarity with Ukraine.
• Writing letters of LOVE and SUPPORT to an individual in Ukraine.

A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and
 the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of
comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus,
the Prince of Peace.
Amen
