The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby with the Christian Family in the Met.
We were recently blessed by a visit from the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. He reached out to us wishing to learn more about our experiences as Christians in the Police Service. The discussion at New Scotland Yard led to Chris Heflin-Scott being invited to Lambeth Palace for further prayer and discussion with the Archbishop. Two other officers were also invited to the palace to receive prayer. He wanted to learn more about our experiences as Christians in the Police Service. LCPF Ambassador Sgt Dave Turtle also engaged with him when they met shortly afterwards 
at the Cinnamon Faith Audit held at the Emmanuel Centre.
Throughout our meetings with the Archbishop a number of topics were discussed including prayer, peace, and tackling poverty. We also discussed how we as a family in the Met can be better supported, and how we can help the Met to integrate more fully with the communities of London.
Please give thanks to God for this new relationship with the Archbishop and his staff at Lambeth Palace. Please do pray that this new connection with Justin Welby will be fruitful, and please pray for him as he leads the Church of England and the world-wide Anglican communion.
Join us on Thursday 4th June 2015, for an informal open prayer meeting. This is an opportunity for us to meet and pray together.
We’ll be praying for Christianity to Flourish in the Metropolitan Police, for those suffering across London, for a uniting of London’s communities against hatred, and for Revival across London.
Please do join us:
Thursday 4th June, 5pm at the Emmanuel Centre, 9-23 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 3DW
Monday 29th June to Sunday 5th July 2015 – 24 hours. 7 days. 1 City
We’re partnered with ‘London Estates 24/7’ and we’re supporting their yearly 24/7 week of prayer. This is a truly exciting event!
Police officers often see the suffering and poverty that exists on some of our housing estates. Lets join together to pray for the transformation of theses estates, to lift people out of suffering, and to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to all.
Every day will see the baton of prayer passed to a new part of London at midnight and each area will cover 24 hours in prayer
To conclude the week we will gather together in the evening of Monday 6th July to celebrate and hear stories of all that God has said and done.

Sgt Luke Benning, and part of our team of Ambassadors completed the London Marathon raising money for Christian Charity CAFOD. Despite sustaining an injury he completed the 26.2 mile route in just 5 hours and 4 minutes. “… a couple of days before the run the earthquake occurred in Nepal and CAFOD were working on the ground. That for me was all the inspiration and encouragement I needed to get me round…“
Please do consider if you can make a donation to support the work of this amazing charity.
This is what Luke had to say in the run up to the event:
“Those that know me will be able to appreciate that I do not look like your typical Marathon runner and I am more use on a rugby field!
Well the last few years I’ve played very little rugby and have instead been watching it usually in the pub with a pint in my hand! This combined with an expensive gym membership that has been used more for the sauna and steam rooms as opposed to the weights room makes the Marathon for me the ulitimate challenge!
Training began slowly towards the end of last year and is going well although I had forgotten how painful hill runs were! Despite this with gritted teeth I’ve been ticking the sessions off day by day and will continue to do so.
More recently it’s been made harder with a nasty injury, hospital visits and scans and the odd painkiller which has meant little training in the final 5 weeks. This makes the challenge twice as tough however I’m grateful to be on the start line and I’m determined to be at that finish line with a medal round my neck!!
Please please if you are able to, make a donation for Cafod, a fantastic charity doing awesome work all over for some of the worlds poorest people.
Thank you”
