We are excited to be partnering with Christian Medical Fellowship (CMF) and others for Healthcare Sunday. Set up in the 1990s by several Christian healthcare organisations, it is a wonderful opportunity for churches to come together, pray for and encourage those working in the health and social care sector in their church and across their community.
Since COVID, there are sustained pressures in this sector. Long waiting lists, difficulty accessing services, limited resources, and problems recruiting and retaining staff are a few key concerns the health and social care sector face. We need to pray for this essential area of work and all of those involved in providing care.
Do encourage your church and others that you know to support this day of prayer.
