The Prayer Room For a photographic tour of a typical Prayer Room, click here The idea behind the 24:7 Prayer Week is to “pray without ceasing” in the most literal sense. This is done by breaking the week into one-hour slots, and encouraging Christians to sign up for that hour to come to pray in our ‘Prayer Room’, which is located very centrally at 25 Portugal Place. This is a private house used by kind generosity of its owners, a couple who have been living – and praying! – in Cambridge for almost forty years. The 24:7 Prayer Week is therefore not being organized by any one particular church, but merely by Christians from various churches who are committed to prayer. The Prayer Room is set up to try and help make prayer easy for those of us who feel like praying for an hour can be quite a difficult thing to do. In the Prayer Room there will be: - a selection of Bibles (various translations), - musical instruments (guitar, keyboard, hand-drums), - a designated wall where people are free to paint their prayers or Bible verses, - a few creative ‘prayer stations’ to help people begin to pray, - maps to help pray for Cambridge and the world. (And if you want to suggest anything else that might help we are open to more ideas!) There will also be a Cambridge Prayer ‘doorkeeper’ on hand to welcome people in (for security purposes and also in case of emergency): this person will probably be a student sitting inconspicuously in another room in the house trying to write an essay. |
