Year of 24–7 Prayer to launch from Titanic slipway
The Diocese will launch its Year of 24/7 Prayer with a New Year’s Eve celebration in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter.
The iconic slipway will be the setting for the start of an unbroken chain of prayer that will thread throughout the diocese during 2014 and lay the foundations for a Year of Mission in 2015.
Each 24 hours is divided into slots so that night and day throughout the year, at least one person will be interceding in a prayer room in the diocese.
All of the parishes will take part, each praying continuously for between 3 and 7 days. The ‘prayer scroll’ will then be passed on to the next location.
The prayer rooms will be creatively set up with a number of ‘stations’ which people may use as to help them as they pray for their church, the diocese and beyond.
Between 1 January and 6 March the prayer scroll will travel between 17 parishes in the area from Titanic to Helen’s Bay.
You will be able to follow the Year of Prayer here on the diocesan website.
Please join us on New Year’s Eve for our launch in the Titanic Quarter.
Gather at 11.30 pm at the ‘Titanic’ sign outside the Titanic building before we move to the slipway and afterwards to The Dock Café where tea and coffee will be served. You won’t be out in the cold too long!
