Facebook 

This month on Facebook you found the director of the Evangelical Alliance in Northern Ireland's statement on the death of Martin McGuinness really helpful: "Today I pray that Northern Ireland will continue on its journey towards peace and a thriving society. I pray for the many victims of the Troubles and their relatives. I pray for Martin's wife and family. And I pray that during this season of Lent, we will pause to reflect on Jesus's ultimate act of sacrifice that brings the opportunity of true freedom to everyone."
