Churches Together in Milton Keynes


We are a network of Christian communities in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas. We are working together to show God’s love to the Borough and City of Milton Keynes.

Our current priority is to build a strong network of committed member congregations, but we are also beginning to focus on the Cost of Living, Climate and Mental Health crises that impact our communities in a big way.

One Year Anniversary of the War in Ukraine

Christian Aid is inviting churches from across Britain and Ireland to join together in an act of witness to pray for Ukraine on Sunday 26 February, for an end to the conflict and for all those affected by the terrible impact of war.

This act of witness will stand in solidarity with national services being organised with Churches Together in Britain & Ireland, Churches Together in England and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

There will be special events in Milton Keynes, including:

A special prayer has been written by Ukranian Greek Catholic Church which we invite you to pray in your churches and communities.

Prayer for Ukraine

Almighty and Great God, accept our gratitude for your boundless mercy towards us.
Hear the supplication of our afflicted hearts for the land and people of Ukraine, as
they confront foreign aggression and invasion. Open the eyes of those who have
been overtaken by a spirit of deception and violence, that they be horrified by their
works. Grant victory over the powers of evil that have arisen and bless Ukraine with
your gifts of liberty, peace, tranquillity, and good fortune.

We implore you, O Merciful God, look with grace upon those who courageously
defend their land. Remember the mothers and fathers, the innocent children, widows
and orphans, the disabled and helpless, those seeking shelter and refuge, who
reach out to you and to their fellow human beings looking for mercy and compassion.

Bless the hearts of those who have already shown great generosity and solidarity,
and those who prepare to receive their Ukrainian brothers and sisters in Ukraine’s
greatest time of need. Bring us together as your children, your creation, and instill in
us your strength, wisdom and understanding. May you be praised and glorified, now
and forever, and to the ages of ages.

Amen.
