<p>On 19th May, the Olympic Torch begins its journey from Lands End to London, 70 days of pilgrimage across the whole UK. We want to use the torch relay as a catalyst for a wave of consecutive 7:14 events in towns and cities nationwide, preparing the ground and praying for Heaven&#8217;s &#8216;flame&#8217; this Olympic year.</p>
<p>A wave of public prayer and worship, sweeping the nation!</p>
<p><strong>31st May 2012, we will gather in Church Square, St Helens, to pray for our communities, for the Church, and for our nation.</strong></p>
<p>No stage, no mics, no brands, no speaker.  Just the people of God in one place at one time with the healing of lands on their hearts.  But what it really needs is YOU&#8230;every single one of us.</p>
<p>A flyer containing information on the hour of prayer can be download in Adobe Acrobat format here:  <a href="http://www.shine.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/714flyer-2.pdf">714 flyer</a></p>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Praying in Victoria Square</dd>
</dl>
<p style="text-align: left;">On 1st December 2011, Christians in over 55 cities in nations around the world gathered to pray.  The prayer initiative called 7:14 started as three cities last March.  This December, on six continents, people gathered to seek God for their churches, communities and nations, as it says in 2 Chronicles 7:14:  &#8220;If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.&#8221; (KJV)</p>
</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left;"> In St Helens, over sixty Christians braved the cold and rain to meet in Victoria Square.  Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists, United Reformed Church, Elim, Pentecostal, freechurch &#8211; all met to unite in prayer.</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left;">People in our communities are hurting.  The Church must be united, vocal and visible.  Full of compassion and love, ready to help and serve.  7:14 is about encouraging Christians to step out in unity.</div>
