Auckland Prayer Walk

to 10 Nov

Auckland Prayer Walk

Let’s embrace this chance to get out in the community and intercede for our neighbours, praying for the increase of God’s flourishing, blessing, knowledge and salvation. Just as walking is one of the most healthy and human physical activities we can engage in, so too praying is the most healthy and human spiritual activity we can practise.
In partnership with 24-7 Prayer Aotearoa New Zealand, the Auckland Church Network and the Auckland Prayer Festival are inviting every believer, prayer warrior, prayer walker, intercessor, church and movement in Auckland to Map the City in Prayer.
The Holy Ground App enables us to join our prayers together and create a visual map of our prayer walks across the city! Download it here for both Android and Apple.

Funeral Service for our beloved Jenny Goodwin

Sadly, our beloved Jenny Goodwin passed away Sunday night, surrounded and supported by Owen and their five children. While the family are obviously devastated, they are standing strong with each other and with God.
Jenny's funeral is on Thursday the 19th at 1pm at SVC. Please park on Forrest Hill Rd, the skate carpark across the road or the surrounding streets - not in either carpark for our building.
We are mobilising our people to help - logistics and/or food. If you're available before, during or after the service, or to provide food (finger food suitable for passing around on platters), please contact Paulina on shore@svc.org.nz
