24-7 Prayer & the Big Church Day Out: May 24, 2009!Phil Togwell - 24 Apr 2009
You might have already heard about this, but 24-7 Prayer are joining up with Delirious? and a huge list of other friends for a one-day festival on Sunday, 24th May called "the Big Church Day Out" on the incredibly beautiful Wiston House Estate, West Sussex.
From 2.30pm in the afternoon until 10pm late that night, there will be a whole variety of experiences for all the family with worship bands and speakers, fun stuff for children and activities for young people, an acoustic cafe and other food venues, and our very own 24-7 Prayer chapel.
Charlotte Terris (she of 24-7 Shop fame) and her small team have been dreaming up all kinds of creative ideas to turn the 700 year-old Wiston chapel into a beautiful themed prayer room based around the Lord's Prayer. Tim Jupp from Delirious? said that he anticipates the prayer room becoming the focus of the event as the day progresses... prayer for the area, and for the UK. I haven't got the time/space here to talk about the 24-7 community taking shape at Wiston, guided by Justin and Ele Blake... but it's all very exciting.
So... we'd love you to be there, if you can come. Churches have already been buying blocks of tickets and booking coaches for the day. Up to 10,000 people are expected! For more information and for tickets you can click across to the Big Church Day Out website.
