Our monthly prayer service held at the heart of Westminster open to all CCF members and their guests. Prayers for the Nation is a time to gather to pray for MPs, Peers, Parliamentarians and our Government.
Every month we hear from charity partners on a current campaign or issue that we can pray for or consider taking part in.
In May we will be hearing from Krish Kandiah from Home For Good on the theme of Hospitality: Fostering, Adoption and Welcoming the Stranger.
We are delighted that CCF member Jeremy Lefroy MP will be leading us in a time of prayer. Jeremy is the Member of Parliament for Stafford, member of the APPG for Children and sits on the Human Rights Joint Committee in Parliament.
About Home For Good:
Home For Good works to make adoption and fostering a significant part of the life and ministry of the Church in the UK. In the UK, there is an urgent need for more than 7,000 foster families and there are not enough people coming forward to adopt children who wait the longest for adoption - children over the age of four, with additional needs, from black and minority ethnic communities and who are part of a sibling group. Home for Good raises awareness of the need for foster and adoptive parents, encourages families to provide loving homes for the children in care, and equips the Church to offer welcoming communities for them. They are dedicated to inspiring, equipping and coordinating the network of local movements, churches and individuals who are making our vision a reality.
