In July we are encouraging the whole church to get up, get together,
and get praying for our neighbourhoods.
There is a lot of talk at the moment about a ‘quiet revival’ taking place across the world. Unchurched people seeking God, a movement of the Holy Spirit calling people and making them curious about God and church. As God’s people our response has to be rooted in prayer and a longing to see God’s will be done in our communities.
We have gathered together resources that you might like to use, and ideas for praying during the month:
We will join together for prayer walks from church at the following times:
THURSDAY 3 JULY, 7PM
WEDNESDAY 9 JULY, 7PM
SATURDAY 19 JULY, 11AM
FRIDAY 25 JULY, 2PM
Whilst these walks are taking place, the church will also be open for ‘stay and pray’ sessions, with some guided material provided to help focus our prayers.
When was the last time you prayed for the neighbours on your road?
We are challenging everyone to take at least one walk around your neighbourhood to pray for it.
Why not join up with other church members who live nearby? An online map has been created of church members, available on the member’s area of the website here. You need to be logged in to view it.
Exact locations and details have been anonymised, but if you see there are pins near to where you live, contact Emma in the church office and she will help make the necessary connections.
If mobility is an issue, why not invite a friend over for a cup of tea and a prayer together?
Need ideas on what to do? Here are some guides on:

We have designed a scavenger prayer hunt as inspiration for families and small groups to use. It helps us search for God in the ordinary, everyday things around us.

We'd love to hear stories of answered prayer, how you've been led by God, or anything you hear from Him while praying during this month. Share them below and we'll collate them so that we might all be encouraged.
