City Praise & Prayer - save the date!
Over the last eight years we have been meeting together as churches across the city of Coventry, twice a year, for a gathering of praise, and to pray for our city. The last three such ‘gatherings’ have been online.
We are delighted that in-person ‘City Praise and Prayer’ is planned for the evening of Sunday 14th November 2021.
To ensure appropriate distancing, in-person numbers will be limited, and the service will be ticketed. The event will hopefully also be live-streamed, so people can participate from home if they wish. More information will follow soon.
