Dear John

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER: CHURCH ACTION ON POVERTY SUNDAY, 23 FEBRUARY 2020

As followers of Jesus, we are called to speak truth to power – especially when
too many are struggling to make ends meet across the UK.

Martin, a single parent from Halifax, like thousands of others, has been
struggling on Universal Credit:

"I just snack, I don't eat proper meals. The children always come first
and I just eat small bits here and there. If I’m in the house on my own all day,
I’ll tend not to eat until 6 or 7 o’clock, if at all,
and I know that I can keep food in the cupboard a bit
longer, that’s another day of survival."

This Church Action on Poverty Sunday, through our gifts and prayers, we can give
people like Martin the opportunity to speak truth to power.

* Hold a soup lunch
* Take a collection
* Use our worship resources to reflect and pray for change.

“The truth will set you free.”
(John 8:32)
