Today is the start of Prisons Week - it's a call to pray for all those affected by crime and imprisonment - prisoners and their families, victims of crime, their families and their communities, those working in the criminal justice system, and the many people involved in caring for those affected by crime - inside and outside our prisons.
Today's guest is Reverend Helen Dearnley, an Anglican priest and an experienced Prison Chaplain based in Leicestershire, who shares some views on her present role and the opportunities it offers for ministry in places of fear, loneliness and conflict.
You can find Prisons Week prayer resources at their website - www.prisonsweek.org
We have a celebration of the Feast of St Francis of Assisi in music, and another Notice Board packed with information about Harvest Thanksgiving Services around the Island this week - and much more!
