Prayer Alert from the Christian Legal Centre
Prayer Alert: Christian employee's hearing on Sunday working
Thursday, December 13, 2012 2:04 AM
Watch Celestina talk about
her case > (2m 54s) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Z24XjCYU4bM
Please pray for Celestina Mba today as her case goes before an Employment Appeal Tribunal.

Celestina was forced to resign from her job as a children’s worker in 2010 after being told that she had to start working on Sundays. Celestina believes Sunday is the Lord's day; she had not worked a Sunday since she started her job.

Earlier this year, an employment tribunal ruled against her.
Today, her appeal against this decision is being heard.

•Please thank God for Celestina’s bold witness and her courage to stand
•Please pray that the judges would recognise the freedom of Christians not to have to work on a Sunday
•Please pray for barrister Paul Diamond as he represents Celestina and argues before the tribunal

PRAYER ALERT:
12/12/12: PRAY FOR OUR NATION IN LIGHT OF MARRIAGE CHALLENGE

Christians across the UK will be
praying during Prime Minister's
Questions at 12 noon on
Wednesday 12 / 12 12

Please join Christians across the UK in praying for our nation during Prime Minister's Questions this Wednesday (12/12/12).

As 2012 draws to a close, there is much for which to give thanks to God. Yet as news of the Government's determination to redefine marriage reminds us our society faces huge challenges.

The Culture Secretary, Maria Miller, is expected to announce the Government's proposals on Thursday. These will include plans to allow same-sex 'marriage' in churches despite earlier commitments that that would not be the case.

Over the weekend, a handful of Conservative MPs and Lords launched a new group ('Freedom to Marry') to urge other Conservatives to support same-sex marriage.

Will you take 12 minutes at 12 on Wednesday and join with others in praying for our nation? If you can't pray at 12, why not find 12 minutes at another point of the day?
