We are excited that St Andrew’s are running another 24/7 week of prayer from Sunday 12th January to Sunday 19th January 2025. This is a great opportunity as we start 2025, to intentionally spend time with God - listening to what He has to say to us both individually and corporately.

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” Jeremiah 33 v 3

There are plenty of ways you can get involved during the week:

·      Choose when to pray: Be intentional and sign up for a slot during the week using the sign-up sheet in St Andrew’s foyer, whether this is in the Prayer Room or off site somewhere.

·      Choose who to pray with: You can pray on your own or with others such as family, friends or your Connect Group. This is a ‘Church Family’ event and children and youth are also invited to get involved during the week in their own groups.

·      Choose where to pray: You can pray anywhere you choose. This includes in the Prayer Room at St Andrew’s which will be open during the week during specific hours. Or it can be wherever you can find a quiet place.

·      Consider what to do: Come along, tune in and listen. We encourage you to prioritise stopping, just for 1 hour, to be still and allow yourself to re-tune into God’s frequency. As we choose to do this, we quickly realise that He is already there waiting to welcome us with a smile! There is no pressure to do anything other than being with God in whatever form that takes. Perhaps meditate on a bible verse, worship, dance or be creative. Or just sit in silence. We all connect with God in our own way, that’s how he made us!

·      Tell us about what God is saying: We are excited and expectant about what God is going to say during the week. We would love you to share (anonymously) by writing whatever you hear onto a postcard that we will be distributing in January. There will be a post-box in the foyer at St Andrew’s where you can post these for us to collate. Alternatively, email us at prayer@stastb.church

·      Come along to The Living Word Gallery at St Andrew’s. A creative exhibition of Bible verses for you to savour and chew on. The word of God is alive and active (Hebrews 4v12) – come and help paint a picture of what these verses mean for each of us in our daily walk with Jesus.
