Bid
to lift morale after riots
Premier
Christian Radio and Premier Gospel Radio have launched an
advertising campaign to lift morale in the nation’s capital in the
wake of the riots. Posters will appear in parts of the city that saw
the worst rioting, pointing to the work the radio stations do in
offering hope and inspiration. The posters will appear in Croydon,
Hackney, Ealing, Haringey, and Lewisham. Peter Kerridge, CEO of
Premier Radio, said: ‘The aim of these posters is to be a source
of hope. We want to be a beacon of hope to Christians, those of
other faiths and none, who live in these areas. In the aftermath of
the riots there has been a lot of condemnation. We want to focus on
a tried and tested way of re-building lives and communities. Hope
and inspiration are things we all need and the Christian gospel
provides it.’

Prayers
for broken communities in our cities
Loving
God, you call us into community, and we only become truly ourselves
as we are for others.
Forgive us for our brokenness and heal the hurts of communities
damaged in the recent troubles in our cities .
Help us to restore the harm to neighbourhoods, buildings and
relationships and to rekindle hope where fires of anger and
disappointment raged.
Give to the Church in areas of trouble the courage and creativity to
be there for others, and to be part of your gracious work of
restoration and recovery.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who is our peace and who
keeps breaking down the barriers that divide us from each other.
Amen
