Pray Without Ceasing
5th June 2006

A number of prayer events were held throughout the circuit as part of the pray without ceasing day. Here is how the worship space in Broomhill Methodist Church was transformed for the occasion ...

The prayer space contained various stations each concentrating on a different aspect of prayer. These prayer stations were linked together with footprints on the floor, leading visitors through a prayer journey, starting with a station for being still and focusing on God, another where stones were used to symbolise our worries and concerns and dropped into a pool of water, a place for giving thanks and praise to God through various activities, and a reflective 'Holy Space' to just sit and be with God. Other stations provided newspapers and magazines for cutting out articles and sticking to a world prayer board, maps and candles for praying for others, and a creative wall for painting prayers.
