We’ve got a date you need to save in your diary!
Each year, for a week in October, churches and groups are especially encouraged to pray for prisons. We want to encourage you to join this wave of prayer.
This year Prisons Week will be: 13th - 19th October.
Did you know… There are over 82,00 women and men in prison in England and Wales.
Did you know… There are over 93,000 children in England and Wales who have a parent in prison. Read that again…
93,000 children. That is more than the capacity of Wembley stadium.
As Christians, we know and feel the power of prayer. We are assured that God works in the world through His almighty grace & mercy, and hears our prayers.
The theme for Prisons Week this year is based on Psalm 111:9: what does freedom mean to you?

This coming Sunday, why not chat to those in your church fellowship about this and see how you can get ready to support this wave of prayer and action in autumn.
The Free Churches Group are proud to be among the many sponsors and supporters of Prisons Week.
