Can you challenge – or ask nicely – your church to help SPEAK stay in business? Every member of the Network can see the worth of what we do but we haven’t (yet) got this message to enough churches.

One of the core values of SPEAK is our belief in the value and importance of prayer. We believe we have a responsibility to pray for change, both to individual lives and to situations of injustice. To help you and others to grapple spiritually with the issues around drones and war, why not have a prayer event focussed on the theme of peace? It’s also a great way of raising awareness of the issues, and you could get lots of Pray & Post Cards signed as part of the evening too, adding many more voices to the campaign for justice. You could do it with a SPEAK group or approach your church, Christian Union or other group you are involved in and offer to run it with them. Here are some ideas for activities you could do together through the night:

SPEAK, with Stop Climate Chaos, is calling for a big push to get our MPs to act on climate change after the Big Climate Connection lobby in November. People across the UK will be lobbying their MPs and putting them on the spot at public meetings whilst the Energy Bill is going through Parliament.
