From 10th to 18th October, St James is joining the National Week of Prayer, as Christians across the country come together to humble ourselves before God, pray for our nation and believe for spiritual awakening.
Throughout the week, we’ll have a number of opportunities to pray together, event details below!

Thursday - 24 hours of Fasting and prayer
Don’t worry you won’t be doing all 24 hours on your own! We have split the day into one hour slots with suggestions of things to pray for (see below).
Try fasting for a period of time by giving up something that takes up your time and energy - maybe TV, your phone, food……so you have more time to pray.
