Prayer for the Persecuted church

We joined an evening of prayer to mark the International Day of Prayer (IDOP) for the Persecuted Church on Sunday 3 November, where we will intercede for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.


Evangelical Alliance, with friends from Open DoorsCSW and Release International are hosting an evening of prayer 7:30pm – 8:30pm.  We will be sharing stories from persecuted believers across the world and will have the opportunity to pray together for Christians who courageously risk everything to follow Jesus. We will meet at church 7pm for refreshments then join online.

 

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed – 2 Corinthians 4:8 & 9 





all sorts

Prayer – if you would like to meet up with others to pray regularly please get in touch. A number of people meet and have formed prayer “triplets” to meet every week or fortnightly to pray for and support each other. Let us know if you’d like to do this too.

Books – We have a number of Christian books available to borrow - please take a look
