Torch Relay Prayer

Loving God,
as this torch travels our nation, preparing us to celebrate the skill and determination of those competing in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, strengthen us to love you and serve our neighbour with all the skill and determination you give us, through Christ, the light of the world. Amen.

In the budget, the government applied VAT to alterations to church buildings which adds 20% to the cost of building projects eg a £50,000 project will now need to raise another £10,000 to pay to the treasury in VAT. Please sign the petition asking the government to stop this now.
