November 24-7. Brilliant.

Well last week marked our first venture back into 24-7 prayer since relocating to Central Hall. Participation throughout the week was brilliant and by the end precious few slots went unfilled (even the silly o’clock ones!). Well done church!
The room itself was amazing thanks to the creativity of a committed team who did a wonderful job of transforming what was once a graveyard for office furniture into an inspiring prayer space. In case you couldn’t make it along, see for yourself, check out some of the photos!
Coming off the back of what’s been a hugely blessed week of prayer for us, here’s an encouragement from Eddie:
I wonder what your experience has been in the 24-7 prayer room this week? For many the prayer room has been just the catalyst to stop “doing” for a while and instead to practice just “being”, being in the presence of God.
Remember, when we pray it doesn’t change who God is but it does enable Him to change who we are. We understand a little more of what it means to glorify Him in all aspects of life. We allow the balance to shift from our tendency to depend on ourselves to having an increased dependency on Him. We glimpse some more of Father’s love for those He has created but who don’t yet know who He is. Let’s keep encouraging and enthusing each other on this trajectory of dependence on God. After all He has an infinite, unending store of grace, joy, hope, purpose, love, direction and power to lavish on us. Do you know all we have to do to receive it?
Just ask, that’s it, just ask.
Another week of 24-7 may have ended but lets keep praying and seeking His face! COME ON!
Eddie
