Read below to find out what happened in SCP 2010...

Thanks to all who came to both Inverness and Grangemouth. It was amazing to see so many people coming together to learn about prayer, and to pray (300+ at Grangemouth, 55 at Inverness). God met with us in a real way as we worshipped together, learned together, prayed together. Some folks met with God for the first time and committed their lives to him, others left with a desire to go deeper into prayer and on with God.

Take a look at some of the feedback:

What next?
Following the event at least one new SU group and prayer group have started, and others are getting together to have a post-Strictly chat on continuing prayer on into the future.  At Strictly we gave out a leaflet called "Five" - encouraging people to pray for 5 people for 5 minutes for 5 days for 5 weeks.  If you would like to get involved in Five, email schoolsprayernetwork.org.uk for further leaflets and find out what to do!

Book early next year and join with us!
