As part of our prayer strategy, twice a year (beginning of Advent and Lent) we organise some online prayer meetings for our Transform Work community around the theme of ‘Jesus to be revealed’.
For Advent 2023 we will have 3 x 45 min early evening zoom prayer meetings spread out during the week beginning 27 November. Advent begins on 3 Dec.
You will need to register in advance. Here are the zoom details:
I hope you’ll join us! The invitation is open to any Christian friends and colleagues who desire to see Jesus at work in their workplaces, as we pray into the needs and opportunities for the light of Jesus to be shone brightly in this coming Christmas season.
Thank you!
