A Prayer for December

God of all months, days, and times

To Thee we ascribe thanks and praise for this and all our days past and to come. As we enjoy the festivities, gifts, and celebrations around this season of cheer, whist we are very grateful, we are also mindful that there are those who are lonely, sad, broken, hungry, facing hardships and  sufferings in various ways; for these we pay strength  and hope, love, deliverance, provision, and peace.

We give thanks that it is so and so it is! Amen and amen.                         

~ Reverend Dr Dawnecia Palmer

PEACEMAKERS City Safety Patrollers will be out and about on the streets of Bristol on a night known as Guy Fawkes Night or BonFire Night in Bristol, around the Royatte Hill, Gordon Road and Whitehall areas.

The Rose Green & Bristol West Indian Phoenix Cricket Club will be running a Family Fireworks Display  Extravaganza  on their grounds, staring at 4pm through to 10pm.

Over the years there has been negligent fireworks crimes on Bonfire night where young people loiter the streets throwing fire works at each other or at passing cars. However,  in recent years there has been fewer reports of these types of activities, with less unorganised fireworks gatherings around the city.

Rev Palmer says she hopes the Patrols prayer presence, and bright High-Viz Jackets, will help to keep the peace, and hopefully ward off  ruckus pranksters.

The Patrollers will gather for prayer across from the Queen’s Head Pub at the top of Royatte Hill at 7pm, before moving along Royatte Hill towards the Fishponds Trading Estates, Gordon Road, and into Whitehall. For more information please Email: peacemakersprayerpatrol@gmail.com

A Prayer for November

God our light

Shining beams of love,

Fill hearts and minds.

Illumine  homes and streets

Alleyways and lanes,

And brighten the paths we thread.

Protect the weak and innocent

With love and light,

And for Goodness sake

Let all be safe. Amen.

A Prayer for November ~ written by Reverend Dr Dawnecia Palmer, Chief Commissioner PEACEMAKERS Patrol

October, wetter cooler days and nights, yet a time we get to once again behold the beautiful fall of  multi-coloured  autumn leaves on the ground.

October tenth month of the year, comes from an old Latin word Octo which literally translates eight, was the eighth month in the old calendar of Romulus c. … 750 BC.  It was also called Winterfylleth by the Saxons, meaning fullness of winter, as it sets us up in preparation for the colder, darker months ahead. Colours associated with October are opal and tourmaline.

Metaphysically October is a time for spirit soul body balance, to set a higher, more conscious intention, on how we wish to show up and express on the planet, and within the sphere of our day to day experiences.

PEACEMAKERS 9th Sound the Alarm  Midday Prayer Call  Wednesday 18th MAY 2022 via Google Meet Link below at 12Noon  https://meet.google.com/xbt-jkoo-rzb  

The  Prayer Call this Month will focus around the recent shootings and stabbings, both here in the UK’s local communities  as well as in the US and the world at large.

On Saturday 14th May, a day which started off as a normal shopping day for many going to their local Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, US, shoppers were met with bullets flying everywhere by an 18 year old, who wilfully massacred ten people.

“Something is wrong here. Something is very wrong when you cannot go food shopping without the fear of being killed while doing so. Something is wrong when your young folk cannot leave their home without feeling they have to carry a large knife to protect themselves, therefore they end up killing or seriously wounding one another. Something is wrong when folk prefer  stay in their churches and homes  and complain, whilst their streets are taken over by thugs.  We need to take back our streets. We must let our voices be heard, and not only when there is blood shed.”

In a recent conversation with an old friend we looked at how we will answer in response to ‘what little have you done?’ specifically to do with the area of street crime and violence.  It is easy to sit in the pew, or home, and even to fast and pray.  However, it seems to me that there is a reckoning being made right about now, and that is, the call get bums off seats, and more legs on the streets.

We also need to let our voices be heard in local and national  newspapers, radio stations, television, YouTube,  and other Social Media. Let our disgust about these inhumane acts of violence be heard, loud and clear. “Enough is Enough. NO MORE MURDERS!” To that end I am in the process of trying to creating media, such as banners, T-shirts, caps, and flyers.” ~ Reverend Dr. Palmer
