Cover COP26 in Prayer – Let’s not COP out!

Hello,

As the COP26 International Climate Change Talks are approaching I invite you to join me in praying daily through the two weeks of COP26 - that from 1st – 12th November.

It can be hard to know how to pray for the big issues around our changing climate and for our global leaders as they meet in Glasgow. The outcomes of the COP26 talks will have serious repercussions for God's people and planet for may years to come.

So why not sign up for the diocesan Cover COP26 in Prayer mailings, which will then be sent to you daily for the 12 days of COP. The daily Cover COP26 in Prayer emails are designed to help you spend about 10 minutes in prayer each day at this important time. Praying for good outcomes for God’s creation and all of us who depended on it. 

They will include reflections of thankfulness, repentance and give an international perspective. Each day there will be a theme, a bible verse to read and reflect on, a video, and some suggested responses.


You are also invited to a range of events taking place in conjunction with Cover COP26 in Prayer - see below. You can read more about other events happening in the Diocese of Leeds and further afield during COP26 here.

God bless

Jemima Parker,
Diocesan Environment Officer
