Prayer for the Middle East

Global Prayer for the Middle East

A Global Prayer Gathering for Peace and Hope

For those who weren’t able to join live, the event is available on youtube, to join in with praying at any time

You are warmly invited to join a special prayer gathering with believers connected to churches in Iran, Lebanon, across the Middle East region, and around the world hosted by the Rt Rev Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani (Bishop of Chelmsford and a refugee from Iran) and Christian theologian and broadcaster Dr Krish Kandiah OBE, Director of the Sanctuary Foundation.

As violence and uncertainty affect many communities across the Middle East, we bring together church leaders and Christian voices from around the world to pray for peace, comfort and protection for all who are suffering.

Together we will listen, reflect on up-to-the-minute news and testimony and pray for those facing grave danger, displacement and loss, asking God to bring hope, justice and reconciliation in the midst of crisis.

Hosted by:
Rt Rev Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani – Bishop of Chelmsford, originally a refugee from Iran

Dr Krish Kandiah OBE – Director of Sanctuary Foundation

Prayer Gathering

Prayer Gathering

On Thursday 1 May at 7.30pm we are gathering in St Michael’s Centre for a whole church prayer gathering.

Prayer is key to everything we do, and an important part of our individual lives. This is a wonderful opportunity to gather and pray as a church, and listen to God together.

Why not count yourself in and come along for an evening of prayer and worship?

Day of Prayer

8:30am-8:30pm on Tuesday 3 December.

As we make time and space to pray, God does immeasurably more than anything we could ask for or imagine. We are inviting you to be part of a day of prayer in our church building on Tuesday 3 December. You can sign up for an hour slot (or more!) as we lift our world, our communities and ourselves before God and make space to hear his voice.

Between 12:30pm-1:30pm we’ll join together with Presence, a weekly gathering focused on spending time with God in silent prayer
