So as you know I am now working for St Thomas’ Church, Brampton. Just last week we kicked off our new prayer initiative. Cleverly named ‘One Thousand Days Of Prayer’, does exactly what it says on the tin! For the next 1000 days, we are committed to prayer. And in each year caught up in those 1000 days, the aim is to pray for 1000 hours.

So practically, the real aim is that the Church is open much more than it has been before. Monday to Friday the Church is now open from 9:30-12:30, for people to come in and pray. As a staff team, we now try to work physically in church every morning between these times.

It has already been quite something being open like this. It is so refreshing to come into a church each morning, which has people there praying, instead of just being greeted with a cold empty building!

For the 2 weeks this has been going there has been a steady flow of people every day which is really encouraging. In the next few weeks we plan on letting the whole community around know. And we also have a little pavement ice cream type board on the way! Reading ‘Church Open’ (I will post a photo when we have it!!)

So yeah, if you live around chesterfield, do pop in and join us in prayer at some point.
