Happy New Year!
It is tradition for Houses of Light to start the year in prayer. We have been given the exciting opportunity to facilitate 24 hours of prayer for streets; as part of the National Day of Prayer and Worship’s month of prayer, called ‘Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done.’ This is part of their month of prayer spanning Monday 5thJanuary until February 5th January.
On 7th January midnight to midnight Houses of Light and our friends and partners will be praying through the ‘lens of the street.’ Each hour has a different theme and a prayer leader for each area.
Please an email to info@ndopw.com for the zoom details, which are different from our usual zoom at Houses of Light. You will be asked for your number to help NDOPW verify your details.
Please note on this day – the National Prayer call for Houses of Light will also take place at 8pm-9pm (1st Wednesday of every month)
This is the timetable for the 24 hours of prayer. You are welcome to join for as little or long as you feel led.
