The Diocese has designated 2026 as a year of prayer, with a special focus on the Lord’s Prayer.
As part of this, Crook Peak is offering a prayer activity for you to explore in each of our six churches, from 14–26 May. This spans our 9 Days of Prayer, and the Bank Holiday.
You are welcome to follow all the activities in the order of the Lord’s Prayer or simply take part in one or two as you wish. For details view the attachment.
