SEEK FIRST | Week of Prayer

Sunday 6 - Friday 11 September

We don't want September simply to be about starting programmes, filling diaries or getting back into routine.

We want to seek God.

Prayer isn't something we can delegate to somebody else. We can't leave it to the pastors, the prayer team, the worship team or a handful of people who feel particularly passionate about prayer. The invitation to seek God belongs to every one of us.

There are moments when we pray individually, but there are also moments when the church needs to gather and seek the Lord together.

As we begin a new season, we want to make room to hear His voice, encounter His presence, bring our lives before Him and pray with faith for our families, our church, our community and all that God wants to do among us.

There are several opportunities to join us throughout the week:

That evening we'll gather again for Heart & Soul.

These evenings aren't about another church service to attend; they are about making room for God. Room to worship without rushing. Room to wait. Room to listen. Room to pray. Room for the Holy Spirit to minister to us.

If you're hungry for more of God, need refreshing, or simply want to spend time in His presence, come and join us.

Every morning we'll begin the day together with prayer live on our YouTube channel.

Before the emails, school runs, meetings and demands of the day take over, we're choosing to give God the first part of our day.

It's just a short time together, but there is something powerful about hundreds of us beginning our mornings with the same focus: seeking God first.

We'll finish the week with something we believe will be incredibly significant: five hours set apart to seek God together.

Prayer is our first response, not our last resort.
