Dear YWCA Sisters and Supporters,
The developments of the past week have brought changes and challenges we could never have anticipated. COVID-19 has crept into our lives, disrupting our routines and relationships. We face difficult, unknown days ahead. As an Association rooted in Christianity, we turn to God in these uncertain times. Psalm 46 tells us that ‘God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in times of trouble’. I know that I will carry this promise with me, I hope you can too.
As an expression of our YWCA community, I invite you to join us in prayer every Monday from 9am – 9.15am, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. Let’s pray for protection and for guidance on how YWCA can best serve the community in this season. Let’s pray for a sense of peace and God’s presence in our lives and in our communities. Let’s pray for our global YWCA movement as we unite in responding to this crisis.
Yours in Christ.
Audrey Wilson
General Secretary of YWCA Ireland
