'Wave of Prayer' 8 - 15th May 2016

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have invited churches to pray for the evangelisation of the nation in the week before Pentecost (8-15th May 2016).

Their wish is to see a great wave of prayer sweep across our land and for us all to a) deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ

b) have the confidence to share the Gospel

c) respond to the call of Jesus Christ to follow Him as disciples, to live out the Gospel and to seek God’s Kingdom from day to day.

We have been reminded that at the heart of our prayers are the words that Jesus himself taught us – ‘Thy kingdom come, the will be done.’

To help us re-engage with The Lord’s prayer, prayer stations have been set up in the church and each one focuses on a specific line from it. There are ideas on who or what to pray for and different ways of praying. These prayer stations are very visual and also offer the opportunity of being creative in prayer.

There is also the opportunity to join with others in creating a prayer collage, please add your words or drawings to it.
