We will also be offering prayer for the people of our community and flyers will be winging their way around the Parish a week before the day of prayer.

How “Get Passionate About Prayer” came to be.
This 24 hours of prayer, put simply, came from God. This day is about God, and is devised by Him. God had put over the last few months a passion for prayer on a number of people’s hearts. It was when each of these people came together one evening in February that the momentum started. There was no major miracle in that all the people weren’t strangers, they were a group of friends who just happened to turn the conversation to prayer and having a day of prayer. The group soon grew and between that first discussion, a week later 8 people met to draw up plans for a day for a day of prayer in our community. Inspired by the 24/7 movement and other gatherings for prayer around the country, we are where we are now. Planning, with much excitement, and with little control other than God’s guidance a day of prayer to Get more people Passionate About Prayer.
