After the success of last year’s 24/7 prayer event, we’re holding another week of continual prayer in the church from 4th – 10th July. We’ve invited other churches from across our city to join us as we pray for Salford, for the Kingdom of God, for the church and for each other.

Last year it was exciting to see people and churches from across Salford all uniting to pray for the city, the Kingdom and each other, and we really encourage you to get involved with this event.

The Salford 24/7 Prayer Week starts this Sunday, and this is your chance to sign up! Just send us an email, letting us know which slots you’d like to come for (please include a telephone number too, in case we need to contact you).

As you can see, some slots have already gone, and we’ve only got certain slots next week, because other parts of the week have been allocated to other churches across Salford.

So sign up quick to make sure you get the slot you want (first come, first served!)
