NEW YEAR’S PRAYER GATHERINGS
We’ve met at a significant location in the city at the very start of the new year to pray for God’s Kingdom to come in the city since January 2018.
These are special evenings where we start the new year well as a united church in Nottingham.
In 2018 we met at The Council House in Market Square (symbolic of political authority in Nottingham).
In 2019 we met at St Mary’s in the Lace Market (Nottingham’s oldest place of continual Christian worship).
In 2020 we met at The Albert Hall, a building that was formerly the home of the Methodist Mission (symbolic of the spiritual renewal that we seek for Nottingham).
In 2021, rather than meeting in a significant location for an evening of prayer, we started the year with a 24-hour period of non-stop prayer.
In 2022 we met in-person once again at St Mary’s in the Lace Market - our prayers were fuelled by prophetic preaching from Rachel Hickson of Heartcry for Change
In 2023 we met at Trinity Church in the converted auction house on Mansfield Road. We heard of the prophetic words that had been spoken over that building, and the prayers that had been prayed over the auction house - so it was a joy to start the year seeing God’s word fulfilled, with a thriving church on that spot.
In 2024 we met at St Nic’s, crying out for the Lord to send the rain and to give us, His church, to have the eyes on faith to see the cloud on the horizon.
NEW YEAR PRAYER GATHERING 2024
On 9th January 2025, we will meet at Woven St Margaret’s in Aspley to mark the beginning of a new year.
As we’ve been listening to God’s voice during 2024, and watching what He’s already doing in our city, we have seen time and time again the Lord remind us of His holiness and call us once again to be holy, as He is holy and hearing how the Lord is moving among young people in the City.
As we start 2025, we come with grateful and attentive hearts - thankful for the ways the Lord has spoken and moved and shaped His Church over the last year and longing to hear His heart for His Bride, this City and the nation, as He calls us ever deeper into relationship with Him. We will spend time worshipping God together, welcoming our King again, and praying for Nottingham, the suburbs and beyond, as we continue to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Hope you can join us on Jan 9th for this evening gathering.
