"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 As we continue beyond these 11 days of prayer, may we carry this same spirit of faith and expectation into the week ahead. Amen. #MondayMotivation🙏

🕯️DAY 11: The Spirit of Power As Thy Kingdom Come 2026 draws to a close, watch this beautiful spoken word piece from The Way UK for Pentecost Sunday, inviting us to welcome the Holy Spirit and remain open to His work in us and through us.

#MorningPrayer You pour your love, Lord Jesus, into the lives of all who open their hearts to you; so infuse and inspire our lives, by the gift of your Holy Spirit, that we may be empowered, energised and encouraged to share that love with all people, that the world may know you.

Join with us in prayer. 🙏 Today's prayer is available in plain text and audio formats at cofe.io/TodaysPrayer.

@JJSharpers It’s what keeps me going as well Jen. 🙏🏼 xx

A wise man once told me: “Faith, is trusting that we are held, despite all appearances to the contrary” That keeps me going every day. @Rev_Roger ✝️💜

For our #WaysOfKnowingFocusWeek (in collab with @NATREupdate) research spotlight, we're sharing this carefully curated list of scholarship designed to support teachers from our fantastic Education and Programmes Manager @fionajmoss! reonline.org.uk/diving-into-di…

Day 11 - Pentecost - The Spirit of Power ✨ Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would come afresh, filling us with God’s love and drawing our Five closer to Him. Almighty God, Your ascended Son has sent us into the world to preach the good news of Your kingdom: inspire us with Your Spirit and fill our hearts with the fire of Your love, that all who hear Your Word may be drawn to You, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen 🙏

In our 7th blog for #WaysofKnowingFocusWeek, Natalie Parkin reflects on how disciplinary thinking is embedded across a new Trust-wide RE curriculum, helping students gradually recognise theology, sociology, history & philosophy as distinct ways of knowing reonline.org.uk/2026/05/22/how…

The next film in our Diverse Disciplines: Journeys into RE series, features @CNewmanTeach. Charlotte reflects on how developing her knowledge of philosophy and the social sciences has helped her create a more balanced Religion and Worldviews curriculum. #TeamRE #TeachRE

Day 10 - The Spirit Through Generations ✨ Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would pour out faith across every generation and draw our Five into God’s family. We ask that You send the Holy Spirit as a holy offering to the holy church. As we assemble, give to all the saints the fullness of the Holy Spirit for the confirmation of true faith so that we may praise and glorify You through Your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom glory and honour to the Father and the Son with the Holy Spirit in Your holy church are Yours now and forever! Amen 🙏 [Hippolytus of Rome, ca. 170–ca. 235]

#MorningPrayer Lord Jesus, when the voices of the world tell us that peace, justice, mercy and love are distant and unrealisable dreams, remind us by the work of your Spirit in and among us, that the truth is different; inspire us to hold fast to you and show your kingdom to all.

🕯️DAY 8: The Spirit of Empowerment “Everything changed when I met Jesus.” In this wonderful film created in collaboration with @TWsocials, hear from three everyday Christians as they share how faith shapes the way they serve and bring God’s love into their places of work.

The next film in our Diverse Disciplines: Journeys into RE series, this time from @mattpitcher Matt reflects on how bringing multiple disciplines into the classroom continues to shape and enrich his teaching nearly 30 years on. “30 years on, still loving it.”
