Half Night of Prayer – 18th June

We are holding a Half Night of Prayer at St Catherine’s on Saturday 18th June from 7.00pm until midnight.  We hope everyone in the church family will join us so please make this a priority and come if you can! 

A half night of prayer is a good opportunity to spend a longer time in intercession and listening to God using a variety of different prayer styles. “And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Matt 7:7. 

The theme this time will be ‘Our Tilehurst Community’ and each hour will cover a different area or aspect.  No prayer expertise necessary – just come along with an open heart and we will take care of the rest!   “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”‘ Romans 12:12
