10 Days of Prayer and Fasting // 4th - 13th January
Jesus leads the church, and one of the ways that we work that out is when we gather to pray, worship and tune in to what he's saying to us.
Join us for 10 Days of Prayer & Fasting from the 4th - 13th January. We will round off with our Big Wednesday on the 13th when we will join with other churches in the city. On each of these evenings we will gather to pray online (7.30 - 8.30pm unless stated otherwise) and in person (if restrictions allow).
Look below to see the full schedule and to sign up to be there in person.

Prayer FAQs | We asked some folk at Emmanuel for their thoughts on questions such as how and why do we fast, building prayer habits, approaching God and praying through the Lord's prayer. You can watch their video responses here.
