Horsham churches launch virtual prayer room

Almost 200 people have already joined the prayer room - a new Facebook Group - which officially launches on Thursday (May 21).

The initiative is part of Thy Kingdom Come, a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost - May 21-May 31.

Horsham Churches Together development co-ordinator Rosemary Couchman said: “At a time when so many people around the world are turning to prayer for the first

time, it provides the opportunity to pray for them, the nation, community, churches, families and friends and ourselves to meet with Jesus and find new life and hope.”

People are being encouraged to sign up for an hour of prayer. To book a slot, see www.24-7prayer.com/signup/0b9f81

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton:

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
