Pray today for…

1 November 2026

On All Saints’ Day we thank you God for the ‘cloud of witnesses’ who have gone before us: saints who proclaimed the Good News, nurtured faith, served those in need, challenged injustice, and cared for creation. We thank God for their inspiration to us as we follow Christ in our own time and place.

We thank God for all the Light Parties hosted by churches in their communities over this weekend. We pray the message that ‘Jesus is the Light of the World’ brings joy and hope to all who have attended. And may God bless the new connections made with children, families and carers.
