The next Southampton 24-7 Prayer Week hits the streets
There is another citywide 24-7 Prayer Week happening in Southampton from 8pm on Saturday 23rd August until 8pm on Saturday 30th August. Organised by the Southampton 24-7 Prayer team, the prayer room will be at Orchard Lane Church (just off East Street in the City Centre, SO14 3BN). You can find out all the details on their website and sign up to fill some prayer slots. It would be great to involve as many different people as possible from across the city, so get your church on board and spread the word!
In addition to a 24-7 Prayer Room, there will be organised sessions taking place in other parts of the building morning and afternoon, Monday to Friday. This will allow opportunities to engage with local people and families, while maintaining the prayer room as a quiet space for people to be with God. The plan is to have open tea, coffee and cake mornings with children's activities from 10am-12noon, and then there will be activities for young people such as games, drumming or dance workshops from 2-4pm.
What's happening in Southampton with 24-7 Prayer?
In Southampton a community has been growing around the concept of 24-7 prayer. We believe that God is calling his church in Southampton to join together in prayer and we believe that it is by faithfully and persistently being with Jesus in prayer that His transforming power will transform us to change the landscape of our city. We are establishing a rhythm of 24-7 prayer weeks that will happen throughout the year in Southampton. People sign up to pray for at least an hour each, and pass on the 'prayer-baton'. We believe that mission is birthed in prayer, and if you fancy the challenge of spending a whole hour alone with God, or even with friends seeking his heart for the lost – then sign up! In addition to hosting prayer weeks, the 24-7 prayer community meet weekly on a Thursday evening at Orchard Lane Church to eat together, share life together and pray. We also pray every other Wednesday night on the City walls, 11pm-1am, meeting at Catchcold Tower (in a car park between Portland Terrace and Castle Way). All are welcome, for more information contact Katie Coles on katiecoles1@yahoo.co.uk.
