24 in 24 in 24 – Saturday 6th July. Young people praying for our town!
’24 in 24 in 24’ is the name given to the youth relay prayer walk planned for Saturday 6th July. 24 miles around the circumference of Eastbourne in 24 hours in 2024.
The aim is to encourage our young people to catch a vision of praying God’s blessing on our town. There are six ‘legs’ – details below. There will be a ‘Prayer Baton’ which will be passed from group to group. Handover times are as near as we can guess, but are approximate.
You are most welcome to join one of the legs with your young people.
You would be responsible for your own young people. There is no lower age limit but any one under 11 should also be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. The upper age limit is 25 except for youth leaders or accompanying parents. You are responsible to arrange drop off and pick up for your participants. Bring your own first aid kit. There will be a car with water bottles which can be called if anyone can’t complete their leg.
We are suggesting that groups think ahead and prepare/write their own prayers to be said on the day. You can find out more about Pray Eastbourne 2024 by checking out the website or the facebook page.
If you would like to find out more about taking part or to register your interest please contact Martyn Relf. Phone/text 07706 181568.
