The Wednesday Group has created a display of paper boats at Oasis.
The boats are a reference to the Young Christian Climate Network slogan:
"We are all in the same storm, but not in the same boat". Poorer communities around the world are at increased risk from rising sea levels caused by climate change.
But they are also a symbol of our hope. They will be sent to world leaders at the UN COP26 Climate Conference with our prayers and calls for effective action.
Christian Aid writes:
Our planet is heating up. This means more extreme climate events, rising sea levels and critical threats to human life. We have the power to stop this climate crisis. Find out more here.
It’s less than 2 months until the UN climate talks, COP26. We must be relentless in calling for climate justice. Now is the time to pray with urgency and hope ahead of this decade defining moment.
'Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.’’ John 6:68-69.'
Lord to whom else can we go,
As we look at our world, and what we have done?
Lord to whom else can we go,
When we see our climate in crisis?
Lord to whom else can we go,
When we feel powerless before decision makers?
Lord speak your words of life
Into negotiations and corridor conversations
Lord speak your words of life
Into global choices and global decisions
Lord speak your words of life
That climate justice may be done
Lord to whom else can we go,
In the urgency of the hour?
Lord speak your words of life
Into our prayers and petitions.
Amen.
