Prisons Week 2026
all are
invited
This year’s campaign takes it’s inspiration from Matthew 22:1-14, which says ‘the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests’.
A Message of Invitation
The message at the heart of this parable of Jesus and of Prisons Week 2026 is beautifully captured by N.T. Wright:
Jesus’ love reaches us wherever we are but refuses to leave us as we are.
God’s desire is that all would respond to his invitation, both good and bad. Both good and bad require God’s clothes of righteousness. None is worthy.
God seeks us out despite our behaviour and calls us to be changed; to take off the old and to put on the new.
Respond to the Invitation
And so, we invite you to respond to God’s invitation, maybe for the first time, maybe with renewed insight.
Join us in prayer this Prisons Week, praying for those across the criminal justice system:
Victims of crime
Offenders and those in custody
Families of all affected
Those working in probation, prisons, police, courts, and for chaplains
Those administering care and justice in communities
