21 Days of Prayer (East)

From 19 May to 8 June our whole church is taking 21 days to really focus on prayer. This is something we’re doing along with all Locations of The Street and it also aligns with 24/7 New Zealand’s Pentecost Prayer Initiative.

While consistent prayer is important, it can be helpful to have seasons where we encourage people to come together for focused prayer. 

Over the 21 days of prayer, we’re encouraging people to do something that would be a stretch for them in prayer. We’ve aimed to set this at a level which will feel like a sacrifice but not over the top. There are a couple of ways to get involved.

Daily Prayer Guide: We’ve put together a daily prayer guide and poster to bring a different prayer focus for each day of the week. This is a baseline to encourage daily prayer over the 21 days. If you don’t have a paper copy you can access a digital version here.

Prayer Gatherings: We’re also hosting three prayer gatherings each week over the 21 days. We’re encouraging everyone to try and at least attend one each week. We know this will be a stretch but it’s for a short time and for a great purpose. Who knows what God will do as we gather together in a time of focused prayer.

The details for the prayer gatherings are:

  • Each Wednesday evening at Miramar Central School - 7:30-8:30 pm (21 May, 28 May, 4 June)

  • Each Sunday morning at Miramar Central School - 7:00-8:00 am (25 May, 1 June, 8 June)

  • Each Thursday at the Cathedral - 12:00-1:00 pm (22 May, 29 May, 5 June)
