CMF National Week of Prayer

When: 31 October - 6 November 2022
Where: Location not yet confirmed.

Most of us working in healthcare have just faced some of the toughest years we have ever experienced. For some of us, it has been a testing, traumatic time. For others, it has been hard but we have seen God working and found joy and encouragement. For others, it has barely registered.

Whatever your experiences, and whatever challenges you now face, many will feel the need to come together as God's people in healthcare to bring our thanks, fear, hopes, cries of pain and lament to our heavenly Father. As Paul encourages us, 'pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests'.

So, please join us online nationally, locally in-person and on Zoom for a national prayer week for all those working in healthcare in our nation and around the world.
