Did you see the lights on at Rivertown at 3am in the morning?

On Friday 16th November at 7pm Rivertown started their 24 hour prayer vigil. Throughout the whole time a number of members and friends shared time together in prayer. There where a number of prayer points to help and encourage us -

  • prayer books and bibles; worship items like crosses and candles for quiet reflection
  • a globe and signs identifying areas needing prayer
  • mellow music and hymns
  • a shredder - writing down anything we want to leave with God and shred them
  • note paper; cut out crosses and pens/pencils/colours - to write prayers; poems; refelctions

This is the 1st time we have undertaken something like this and we are so encouraged we plan to consider other simila events in the future.
