SHOWING OF “THE PEOPLE’S EMERGENCY BRIEFING”
📅 Date: Tuesday 15 September – 7PM
📍Meet: The parish rooms of St Anne’s, Overbury Street, Liverpool L7 3HJ.
A showing of the film “The People's Emergency Briefing” in the parish rooms of St Anne’s, Overbury Street, Liverpool L7 3HJ.
The film features footage from last year’s National Emergency Briefing, bringing together leading UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature. It presents a clear, measured overview of how the climate and nature crisis is affecting life in the UK.
The initiative is non-partisan and has support from organisations including National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, National Education Union, and many more.
Following the 50-minute film, we will host a 45-minute discussion on what it means for our community.
WATER TO DEPEND ON
World Water Week takes place from 23–27 August 2026. Its theme, Water for People and Progress, reminds us that safe water supports health, dignity, family life and hope for the future.
For many Christian families in Bethlehem and across the West Bank, water cannot be taken for granted. Mains water may arrive only a few days each month, so families rely on rooftop tanks. Yet many tanks are old, rusting, leaking or unsafe, and families already facing financial hardship cannot afford to replace them.
Friends of the Holy Land works through trusted local partners to install new water tanks and solar water-heating panels. This gives families a safer and more reliable supply while also providing valuable work for local Christian suppliers and contractors.
Sliman, a father of two who received a new tank, told us: “Projects like this help us to continue living our lives in this country.”
Please pray for Christian families facing water shortages and, if you are able, help bring water home to another family: https://www.friendsoftheholyland.org.uk/Appeal/water
