St Johns Church Grove & Wantage Community Church organised 48 hours of non-stop prayer to join in the Global Week of Prayer from the 1st -7th September 2025 (24-7prayer.com).
Over those 48 hours we had over 100 people from at least 3 or 4 different churches coming in to pray for an hour using the creative prayer stations or just sitting in the prayerful atmosphere.
We were part of over 1000 prayer rooms in over 100 countries joining together to pray. Below are some of the prayer stations and some quotes from those who came. Perhaps when Rachel & D have recovered -we can think about doing it again sometime!
“An hour goes really quickly” “It was so peaceful “
“It felt like a luxury to have a whole hour set aside just to pray – just me and the Lord”
“a great opportunity for our churches to work and pray together – overall a real blessing to be a part of.”
“- the sense of prayer was palpable –“
“After our hour slot yesterday I went back this morning. It was lovely to go in easily and find a place of prayer, worship, colour and music – and peace.”
