Prayer

'They all joined together constantly in prayer' Acts 1:14 - prayer is vital to everything we do as a church

Day of Prayer & Fasting: 14 September will be a day of prayer and fasting, and prayer meetings will be held at 7-8am and 7-8pm on that day - more details will follow.

Prayer and Worship: The foundation of our corporate prayer activity is our prayer and worship meetings where we pray for Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB), Alpha, the Church and the nation(s). We meet at 7am on Tuesdays in the term times for an hour of prayer and worship, followed by breakfast. There are also various other prayer events and opportunities to pray which will be promoted at church and on this page.

Next term the 7am prayer meetings will start again on Tuesday 7 September and run till Tuesday 7 December 2010.

When: Tuesdays 7- 8am during term time, followed by breakfast

Venue: HTB Church

"Being part of PrayerForce and the 7am prayer meeting has really taken me out of myself and my own world. It has really helped me to engage with what is going on around me and to equip me to pray as an individual and as a community"

God at Work - prayer for your work place

An opportunity to pray for those in the workplace and for those concerned to meet, encourage, and support one another.

The fields are: Healthcare, Science & Research, Law, Creativity & Arts, Politics, Government and Public Service, Finance and the City, Education & Childcare, Fashion, Sales & Retail, Hospitality, Sport & Leisre, Professional Services, Consulting & HR, IT & Telecoms, Media, Marketing & Communications, Charity Sector, Building, Property & Construction, Industry, Energy & Transport.

‘A massive thank you for your media networking breakfasts. The people I have met there have had a profound impact on my life’. (Luke – Frogspawn Creative)

Pray for Global Alpha Training events (GATs) - the vision for the Global Alpha Training initiative is to release global Alpha expertise to meet the Alpha training needs in places yet to run courses. We want churches to go from everywhere to anywhere so that every church around the world has the opportunity to be trained to run the Alpha course. There are opportunity to get involved in the GAT initiative reaching out to millions of people around the world who want to be trained in how to run Alpha.
