Baptist Union Prayer Diary


1st November - The theme for this year’s Baptist Women’s World Day of Prayer is Living the Good News: Faith in Action, drawing from James 2:17 which reminds us that faith should not be merely believed but lived. Please do join in the Day of Prayer which is always held on the first Monday of November. (BWA Women's Day of Prayer)

8th November - A prayer for Remembrance Sunday from the Armed Forces Christian Union:
Father God, we come to you today so thankful for the freedom that we enjoy in our country. We remember the sacrifice of all those who have given their lives to secure that freedom in the two great wars and all the areas of conflict which have arisen since. Lord, we pray that you continue to lead and guide our military today and, in the days ahead, and that the leaders of our Armed Forces will always seek your wisdom in their planning. Amen (Armed Forces Christian Union)

15th November - The week after Remembrance Sunday is marked as Inter Faith Week, an annual initiative dedicated to strengthening interfaith relations. The 2026 theme "Lighting the Way for a Shared Future” is a celebration of hope. Inspired by the symbolism of light across faiths and traditions, the theme reflects a shared belief that even in challenging times, communities can come together to build understanding, trust and friendships. (Interfaith Week)

22nd November - This week the Baptist family will be praying for our Association.

29th November - This month marks the 20th anniversary of the Joint Public Issues Team. Please pray for this ecumenical Team, giving thanks for their work enabling and encouraging churches to work together for peace and justice, and for the realisation of their ‘Six Hopes for Society’. (JPIT Six Hopes)
