Just two days until the start of the 24:7 Prayer Week.
If you haven't already, then please get word out to the praying people you know in your CU -- and sign up for an yourself at http://www.cambridgeprayer.org/pages/signup.asp
This Prayer Week we are focussing particularly on two themes:
1. that of Jesus the Bridegroom calling to his Bride to come into his presence (see Song of Songs 2:10), and
2. that Cambridge's Christian heritage would not be given to reproach but rather that those 'ancient wells' would be unblocked (cf. the promise of Joel 2:16-17).
(And if you're looking for a connection, in Biblical times it was common for a man to find his bride at a well! cf. Gen. 24; Gen.29; Ex. 2:16-22; Jn 4:1-26)
And so we've organised something at 2:10pm each day to help us pray into these things:
On Saturday 30th April, at 2:10pm, there'll be a Royal Wedding Prayer Flashmob at the Great St Mary's -- see www.royalweddinginvitation.co.uk for more details.
And daily 1-7 May from 2-3pm we'll be going on a Christian Heritage guided walk to help us understand the incredible heritage of faith in this city, with each day focussing on a different Christian value that we pray would be restored:
Sunday--Prayer//Monday -- Bible//Tuesday -- Wisdom//Wednesday -- Creativity//Thursday -- Justice//Friday -- Mercy//Saturday -- Mission.
Watch out for our daily video-casts on these themes!
We also invite you to join us in St Clements (at the intersection of Bridge Street and Portugal Place) on Saturday 30th April at 7.30pm as we launch the Prayer Week.
Grace and peace,
Peter Prescott
