The event was advertised in the village magazine
and prayer leaflets were delivered around the village during a 'prayer
walk'.
There were boxes for prayer requests in the church
and the Post Office.
The main church was divided into four 'stations'
representing
(a) local churches
(b) the persecuted church (remembering especially Tearfund - the
Palestinian Authority & Israel)
(c) families & friends (with prayer requests pinned to a net)
(d) nation & government
There was paper, paint, drawing and modelling
materials available, plus fish-shaped labels for written prayers.
The small room was available as a quiet space, lit by candles. Coffee
and rest-space was available throughout the night. People were encouraged
to commit to a specific time.
What did Rev. Tony have to say about it?
"Reynoldston – the night lit up by
dozens of candles – a quiet room for peace – a banner
in the making – stations for reflection on our concerns in
the world and the locality, ‘earthed’ by requests for
prayer from people in the village ............"
