Jesus, our redeemer, as we begin a 24-hour wave of prayer across Bath and Wells, help us to connect to you so that we pray for the growth of your Kingdom rather than our own. Give us humility and courage to pray for growth and transformation.

Andy began the day with Morning Prayer at St Francis Church in Bridgwater. Good to pray together and hear about the holiday club over the summer and the new youth club launching this month 🙏 #24hourwaveofprayer Diocese of Bath & Wells

Some inspiring prayer stations too highlighting local needs. The church is open 9.30am - 4.30pm tomorrow (Saturday) with Bishop Michael and Archbishop of Canterbury visiting at 10.30am 🙏 #24hourwaveofprayer Diocese of Bath & Wells

Archbishop of Canterbury Diocese of Bath & Wells And finally this afternoon, a prayer walk around St Decuman's Church in Watchet 🙏 #24hourwaveofprayer Diocese of Bath & Wells

It’s nearly time to welcome our youth and young adults to our first #24HourWaveofPrayer event with MOVEMENT at St Michael's Without

“Prayer is the moment in which we recognise that whoever we are and whatever we are like we are reached out to by God. And we look into his eyes and know that we are loved.” Archbishop talked prayer with young people from across the diocese #24WaveofPrayer.

Young people enjoyed the MOVEMENT worship event with a Q&A about prayer with Bishop Michael. Archbishop Justin then talked about prayer praying for the young people of the diocese. The young people then prayed for the Archbishop. #24WaveofPrayer. St Michael's Without

Holy Spirit, we pray that you will inspire all those participating in our 24-hour Wave of Prayer today so that our prayers reflect God’s deepest desires for the growth of his Church and our communities.

After morning prayer in Wells, Archbishop of Canterbury and Bishop Michael have arrived Junction 24 to meet and pray for farmers and our rural communities.

While Archbishop of Canterbury enjoys a tour of the market and meets members of the farming community, members of the St Anselm community who have accompanied speak about their life of prayer in the community. #24WaveofPrayer.

The #24hourwaveofprayer Diocese of Bath & Wells continues in the Vale Churches and Tone Deanery today with prayer for young people and transformed communities at Heathfield Church 🙏

Amazing welcome from St Francis, our next stop where the focus is praying for our community. We thank God for hospitality. And a helpful reminder from St Francis.

As our #24waveofprayer comes to a close, a few pictures from the last two stops by Archbishop Justin and Bishop Michael. The focus at Nailsea School was children, young people and schools. While new Christian Communities & caring for creation featured at St Mary’s Frome.

And last but not least our huge thanks to The Kings of Wessex Academy for the loan of their minibus and the awesome driving skills of Revd Ruth Motion!

For all those in our Magnificat parishes, we pray for a strength of faith and love for all in their communities. Send your Holy Spirit in abundance on all those who work tirelessly to uphold their communities.

With thankful hearts, on this Emergency Services Day, we pray for the emergency services and the NHS for the valuable support and resource they offer to all. Give strength to those on the front-line, and to those who work behind the scenes.
