Dundela is on prayer watch!
Bob Brooks from St Mark’s Dundela (right) receives the prayer scroll this morning from Dorothy McLean of St Molua’s, Stormont. Standing behind are the rector of Dundela, Revd Adrian Dorrian and the curate, Revd Lynne Gibson.
Parishioners from St Mark’s will pray continuously as they play their part in our year of 24–7 Prayer. Each 24 hours is divided into slots so that night and day throughout 2014, at least one person will be interceding in a prayer room in the diocese.
All of the parishes are taking part, each praying for between 3 and 7 days. The ‘prayer scroll’ is then passed on to the next location.
The scroll is a symbol of the parish’s commitment to sustain prayer but it also documents the prayer journey through the diocese. Parishes are filling in the dates on which they have held the prayer mantle as well as an encouraging story or comment from their time praying. They are also encouraged to write a prayer of blessing for the next parish.
St Mark’s will hand over to St Brendan’s, Sydenham, on 1 February.
