A new team, with the promotional and practical support of Churches Together Eastbourne, is inviting Christians and churches across the Eastbourne area to unite together in 2024 in a year of prayer for our town.
It feels as though the Christian Church in the UK is facing cultural challenges not experienced for centuries. At the same time, many sense this could be just the time when God breaks in and does something new and unexpected.
Matthew Henry famously said: ‘When God intends some great mercy for his people, he first of all sets them a-praying’.
Abraham Lincoln once said: ‘I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all around me, seemed insufficient.’
Psalm 133 speaks of the great blessing when the tribes of God’s family ‘dwell together in unity’. Acts 2 tells of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit when the disciples were praying all together in one place. The united, earnest prayer of God’s faithful people is powerful and effective.
This is a call to come together humbly before our heavenly Father, in our human weakness, seeking His mercy and favour on His church in His town to His glory and the extension of His Kingdom here and now in the Eastbourne area.
What is planned roughly divides the year into two halves.
The first half of the year includes occasions to gather together for prayer hosted by different churches across the area, culminating in the Pentecost Sunday 19th May gathering at the Bandstand for ‘Thy Kingdom Come’.
That same day will then launch a season of prayer walking starting with a ‘circumference walk’ around the outskirts of Eastbourne and surrounding villages.
From June to October area groups of churches will organise prayer walks through their own localities.
As we get more detailed information about these initiatives, we will post it on this website.
