New prayer rota for Norwich city centre
Norwich Central Churches Together has launched a six-month prayer rota for January - June 2010 which includes prayers for schools, nightclubs, media, local government and Norwich City Football Club.
The aim is to pray each week for a different member church of Norwich Central Churches Together and a different aspect of Norwich city life. These prayers can be offered in church services, at weekly fellowship or prayer meetings, as well as for private prayer and in prayer walking.
Each month is divided into four week periods. It is a useful prayer tool to use and can be repeated after six months.
