Prayer Eleven

 

The Nottingham School of Christian Prayer is a school of prayer that offers to teach the Explorers in Prayer course to anyone in the Nottingham area. You can still download the course for free and use it in your own church, but if you live in the Nottingham area, you have the option to do the course when it takes place in Beeston. Also, Jonathan is available to lead the course at your church. The Explorers course is aimed at adult Christians of any denomination. Some details of the Explorers prayer course may be found below, but further information (and the downloads for the Explorers course if you want to do it yourself) can be found here.

Here is the Christmas Prayer Tree video. The prayer tree was put up in the foyer of Tesco supermarket in Beeston, Nottingham on the 10th December for a few weeks. 160 people wrote prayer requests on labels and tied them to the tree. The prayer requests were prayed for by a team of people two weeks later.
