Our Next Month of Prayer Starts 1st June

At King's our regular pattern is that three times a year we particularly give ourselves to praying together during our months of prayer (normally February, June and October).

This June is an opportunity for us as church, as individuals and in smaller groups to gather together and pray. During the month as well as our usual prayer activities during the week - there will be various opportunities to pray together including Sunday night prayer and worship.

Psalm 8

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument.

1O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.

2You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you.

3When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—

4what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?

5Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.

6You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority—

7the flocks and the herds,and all the wild animals,

8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.

9O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

Psalm 8: NLT

'Verse 2 of this Psalm speaks of using praise as a weapon in spiritual warfare and we will be focusing on this aspect of prayer during the Month of Prayer.

Here’s a reminder of all the ways we can pray together as a church during the Month of Prayer:

Sunday mornings pre-service - prayer before our whole church gathering from 9:45-10:15am (turn up for any part of it you can make), normally in the canteen area just next to the main hall.
Sunday mornings - corporate prayer - we will be including some prayer together in our whole church gathering

Sunday mornings post-service - there will be Prayer Ministry members at the back of church after the service (wearing a black lanyard) who will be happy to pray with you 
Sunday evenings - worship and prayer - 7:45-9pm at Aureus - a wonderful time of extended worship and prayer
Tuesday lunchtime -  Ladies prayer 12:30-1:30pm this is normally a hybrid meeting but during Nick and Naomi’s sabbatical it is only on Zoom (zoom code details can be found here)
Thursday evening -  Midweek Communities will be praying together and doing a course from 24/7 Prayer called “Be Still”.
Friday evening - 7:30-8pm Zoom prayer led by Lucy (zoom code details can be found here)

Saturday Prayer Walks - We hope to hold one or two Prayer Walks during the Month of Prayer. Dates, times and locations will be posted here nearer the time.
