Doubling the number of children and young active disciples!
The Church of England has a vision to pray in a doubling the number of children and young active disciples by 2030. It’s about young lives being won and shaped by the goodness, beauty and truth of Jesus. It is about asking God for his enabling and empowering, his leading and guiding, his work to open hearts and draw young people to himself.
Throughout 2023 the prayer meeting will be every Tuesday on Zoom for 20 mins from 13:00-13:20. The link you’ll need for the Zoom (https://cofe.io/doublecyp) is the same every week. See Events page for more options as to how to join in.
The prayer meeting will be reasonably fast-paced, and start and end bang on time. Some of the time will be spent in breakout rooms, but, all the way through, prayers can be offered verbally, in the chat, or silently.
