Why not host an Afternoon Tea!?
Our friends at Imago Dei (ID) Prison Ministry are inviting us all to host an afternoon tea on or around 14th August. Supporters of Imago Dei Prison Ministry are joining together to host Afternoon Teas across the country for their friends and family to raise awareness and funds for ID Grace House UK. For further information and how to register your event and get your bunting and fundraising pack, click: Will you join us?
Grace House UK is a project of ID Prison Ministry, set up specifically to offer housing with life skills training and support for women leaving prison in the South East who may otherwise be homeless and need further resettlement provision.

Prisons - the facts and figures (in the latest Bromley Briefing)
The Bromley Briefings are produced in memory of Keith Bromley, a valued friend of Prison Reform Trust and allied groups concerned with prisons and human rights.
Keith’s support for refugees from oppression, victims of torture and the falsely imprisoned has made a difference to many people's lives. The Prison Reform Trust is grateful to the Bromley Trust for supporting the production of this briefing paper. This season’s briefing is out now:
“Facts and figures provide a better basis than opinion
for policy and practice change.
... these facts chart the extraordinary rise in prison numbers
over the last twenty years,
inflation in sentencing and the social and economic consequences
of overuse of custody.... revealing the
state of our overcrowded prisons and the state of people in them.”

Prayer Wall, to encourage and uplift those working in our prisons...
As part of our connection with Prison Fellowship, we invite you to pray with us today… one of the ways in which Prison Fellowship support the needs of those in prison is through a Prayer Wall.
“The Prayer Wall is a space to encourage and uplift those working in our prisons. An opportunity to express our gratitude for them and their work through prayers. ”
Our prayer today comes from a contribution and encouragement to pray, from the Prayer Wall
Let us pray
My prayer for those working in prison is that they will be strengthened,
have great wisdom and peace in every circumstance.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen
