Last night, Monday evening, was the launch of the Bishops’ Prayer Network, 1st September. And you would have seen videos through the summer and emails inviting you to be part of that, and we were able to host that last night at St Barnabas Erdington. So thank you to Emma and the whole team there for hosting us.
And we had a great number of people. It’s really encouraging to come together to pray, to worship and to make a kind of public beginning to our Bishops Prayer Network, praying for those things that we’ve been talking about for months,
- that God would have mercy on our city and region,
- God will give us great love for the people and this place,
- God will break the power of evil in Jesus name,
- we will raise up and send out workers for the harvest field and bring many to Christ. So we were able to launch that last night publicly.
85 people signed up to be part of the Bishops’ Network, many of them adopting one hour as theirs for the duration. We still have a few slots empty, and welcome many more people to sign up. If you would like to join the Bishops Prayer Network, please do Bishop Esther Prior. (BishopofAston@CofEbirmingham.com) . Thank you.
