The Diocese of Blackburn has committed to a year of prayer for growth and renewal starting in Advent 2024. Together with schools and churches across the Diocese we will be taking part in this year of prayer. Each Monday, during Collective Worship, we will introduce the prayer focus for the week and the focus will be shown on our website so families can also join in from home.  

Week commencing 2nd December 2024

A prayer for peace

Can you link your thumbs together to make the shape of a dove?

Jesus is called ‘The Prince of Peace’

He wants everyone to get along.

Together we pray ‘Prince of peace – we pray for places in the world where people need peace. Help us all to try and understand each other. Give us the ability to be peacemakers. May broken friendships be healed. Give us better understanding of your love and forgiveness. May today be a day when peace dwells in our classrooms and our homes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.'
