The Most Revd Hosam Naoum, Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem and Primate of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, has shared a pastoral letter in light of escalating conflict in the Middle East.
He calls the global Church to join 'in urgent, unceasing prayer. We implore God to protect the innocent—the mothers, the children and the elderly—who are caught in the crossfire'.

🚨The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme was set to run until 31 March 2026 but the £23 million pot the Department for Culture, Media and Sport put aside for the Scheme has run out – six weeks before the end of the financial year – leaving hundreds of churches in the lurch⬇️

Help protect your church during a storm by securing things that could be at risk. Outside, take down signs, move bins and secure benches. Make sure doors are closed and put temporary boarding behind vulnerable windows.

A gentle reminder the clocks go back by one hour tonight - so you have an extra hour before church tomorrow!
Smartphones and digital devices should adjust the time automatically.
