June is the National Month of Prayer for toddler groups
Toddler groups offer an amazing space for babies, toddlers and their parents and carers to play, experience a warm welcome and develop a supportive community. They come in all shapes and sizes and during the Pandemic, many have adapted in incredible ways to offer support in the local community. They are a place where the love of God can be experienced in so many ways and they are a place where life in all its fullness can be celebrated.
That’s why in June we put aside a whole month to focus on them in prayer. The National Month of Prayer (NMOP) is an initiative of 1277 Make Them Count. It encourages churches, individuals and toddler communities to pray 3 ways – in groups, for groups and across groups in the UK.
2024’s theme is based on Matthew 1 3 : 3 1 – 3 2 ‘From a little seed’. We will be encouraging networks of toddler groups to meet together, to share their joys and challenges and pray for one another.
