Prayer Vigil for Ukraine - Locking Castle Church, Jasmine Way, WsM, BS24 7JW, Sunday 11th September, 4pm

The war in Ukraine will have lasted 200 days by Sunday 11th September. Whilst there has been some territory re-claimed by the Ukrainian army in recent days, there is no indication of a peaceful settlement in the near future.

The invasion has impacted many millions of Ukrainian people who have been displaced across Europe.

The Churches and church organisations in Weston-super-Mare have responded both with humanitarian gestures but also by mobilising prayer. All of the local churches are praying for peace at their services and would welcome anyone to join them.

United Vigil

The churches along with people from across the community have been gathering together as an act of solidarity with the Ukrainian people, to light candles, to reflect and to pray for peace. Our vision is to help people find hope and strength amidst this desperate situation.

The town's Church leaders have set aside Sunday 11th September for the next united gathering which will take place at Locking Castle Church, Jasmine Way, WsM, BS24 7JW, at 4pm. This date marks the two hundredth day of the war.

Rev Tom Yacomeni, at Locking Castle Church said, 'We would welcome all local people for this hour of quiet reflection, prayer and contemplation for those affected by the conflict in Ukraine - but also other wars that are taking place. This is an opportunity to stand in solidarity and sympathy with those whose lives have been turned upside down through no fault of their own. We look forward to welcoming you.'
