Date: 12th – 1st February
It is essential to start our year with prayer. As we were reminded at our New Year’s Eve service ‘Except the LORD build the house we labour in vain’ We have chosen to start 2020 with 21 days of prayer as we acknowledge that we can achieve nothing of eternal significance without God at the centre of, around and within everything we do.
Prayer Schedule
Monday to Friday at 6am
Saturday at 9am
Sundays – As part of church service
