Week of Prayer 2026

This year, our Benefice Week of Prayer has been moved to coincide with the global prayer movement “Thy Kingdom Come”. Christians around the world will be praying from Ascension Day to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.

There are lots of opportunities across our benefice for you to join us in prayer and you’re invited to as many as you can attend!

You are also warmly invited to our Ascension Day Holy Communion, starting 7pm on Thursday 14th May at Christ the King.

Here are all the dates and times. Please join us for as many sessions as you can:
