Fresh Streams to host prayer and fasting gatherings for our Baptist movement

Churches and church leaders in relationship with Fresh Streams are hosting 11 prayer and fasting gatherings across 10 Associations on Thursday, 14 March

The aim is to 'spend time in prayer as we intentionally pray for our Baptist movement, the churches in our associations and each other,' said Andy Glover, part of the Fresh Streams leadership team.

'These day are part of our commitment to join with Baptists Together in a period of stillness and prayer before God.'

These gatherings will be from 10am til 3pm, 10am to 1pm or 11.30 til 2pm depending on the location.

They are open to everyone.
