June 2022 Prayer Points

/in , /by

Pentecost and Environment Sunday coincide – how can we pray for God to guide us, as God guided the first apostles? The Australian elections bring signs of hope – but a new report and information about potential ‘carbon bomb’ fossil fuel projects remind us how urgent the need for change is. Fortunately, people within the fossil fuel industries are beginning to speak out – and organisations and businesses around the world are taking action.
