Prayers for the King in Northern Ireland

As His Majesty King Charles III visits Northern Ireland today, we pray that he, and all who mourn would know God’s peace and a deep sense of the reality of the hope which Jesus offers.

“In these days of change and trial,
Be the rock on which we stand,
When we fear in this new season,
Hold us firmly in your hands.
May we rise to her example,
To be humble, kind and fair,
Swift to pray and slow to anger,
Choosing faith and not despair”

 – Andy Flannagan/Sam Hargreaves*

His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort will travel to St Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast this afternoon to attend a Service of Reflection for the life of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II, in which the President and other Irish Methodist representatives will be in attendance.
