24-7 Prayer
Prayer is happening all the time, all over the world: so why do we feel God’s invitation to a Global Week of Prayer? In short, this is a moment of profound unity as the global Church stands together.
​
When we pray, we discover God’s heart for transformation in our towns, in our cities, in our nations. What could happen if there was a week of non-stop prayer in every nation on earth? How might we encounter God? How might his greatness be seen? How might we see transformation?
We want to find out!​​​

How can I get involved?​
​
In Small Groups
We’re encouraging people to gather in 2s or 3s to pray - ideally outdoors - for their communities, situations, and for friends and loved ones to come to know Jesus.
To make this happen, we’ve set up a sign-up calendar:
-
If you already have one or two people to pray with
– Choose a time slot on the calendar.
– Add all your names.
-
If you’d like to pray with someone but don’t yet have a partner
– Pick a time slot that works for you.
– By signing up this way, you’re happy for someone else to contact you.
– If your contact details are already on Churchsuite, they can find you there. Otherwise, add your email address in the “Name” box along with your name (as well as in the Email field).
-
If you’d prefer to pray on your own
– Simply add your name and write PRIVATE afterwards.
– Example: “Joe Bloggs PRIVATE.”
When you sign up, you’ll also receive some simple prayer ideas to help you get started.
Post a Prayer
This week, we’re inviting people to share their prayer requests. You can do this by:
-
Dropping a note into one of the prayer boxes around town:
-
LPC front reception area
-
St Michael’s Church (Queen Margaret Aisle)
-
Cross House (back wall of kitchen/side entrance)
-
TBC
-
-
Or email your request to: prayer@stjohnslinlithgow.org
During the prayer week, we’ll set aside time to pray for every request we receive - from you and from others in the community.
​
With Wider Prayer Group
On the calendar, you’ll see a few slots already filled with regular prayer gatherings happening around Linlithgow. You’re very welcome to join any of these in-person times of prayer.
We’d especially encourage you to join us for St John’s monthly prayer gathering at the end of the prayer week on Sunday 7th September, 7:30pm in LPC, where we’ll be focusing particularly on the requests shared through Post a Prayer.
