Prayers for the Nation with Green Pastures

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.

Each month the CCF hosts Prayers for the Nation – a prayer service in the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft bringing together Parliamentarians, Charity and Church leaders to focus on and pray about an issue, a campaign or a legislation that they are championing. Parliamentarians who attended and spoke at recent Prayers for the Nation services include t, Harriett Baldwin MP, Fiona Bruce MP, Jeremy Lefroy MP and Baroness Elizabeth Berridge.

About Green Pastures

Barriers to employment combined with explicit discrimination, have created a little-discussed housing crisis amongst ex-offenders Ex-offenders struggle to integrate into society and are a group which local authorities often struggle to fully cater for. Green Pastures is a dynamic Christian Housing charity that has transformed the lives of thousands of people over the past 20 years. Established in 1999 when the founders stepped out in faith to purchase two properties to meet an immediate housing need in their community, Green Pastures now works with 70 partner organisations and currently houses 3,000 people providing not only shelter but also care a rehabilitation where needed.  They have witnessed transformations that defy modern day statistics. These unusual success stories include their work with ex-offenders where the charity provides holistic support to integrate persons into society and to date amongst this group the re-offending rate is 10% which beats the national average of 60%

Prayers for the Nation begins at 18.30 at the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in Parliament.
