The above photo was taken at about 3am in our last 24/7 Prayer room in 2010. It was amazing looking out the window onto Acton at that time in the morning and I remember praying for all the people who would be awake at that time for whatever reason and thinking how God always sees what happens, even in those hours when most of us are asleep.

I prayed for nursing mums and prostitutes, drug dealers and policemen, people being abused and people working night shifts.

This year, we will be running a 24/7 Prayer room with Antioch and the Acton Vale Missional Community in Holy Week, 1st – 8th April. Members of the 3 communities have been emailed the rota for individual sign ups.

Below are the communal events taking place during the week:

11pm-7am Sun-Mon – All Night Youth Prayer

9am-11am Mon-Fri – Oaktree Staff Prayers (open to all)

4pm-6pm Mon – Children’s Prayer

6pm-10pm Mon – Prophetic Art Prayer

8pm-10pm Tues – Led Prayer with Acton Vale Missional Community

8pm-10pm Wed – Church Central – Led Prayer with Antioch Brothers

8pm-9pm Thurs – Communion

6pm-8pm Good Friday – Led Meditation

7am – 9am Easter Sunday – Sunrise Service and Breakfast

We are running an Alpha Course in our new building, 216 Acton High Street, starting on Tuesday 1 March.

I remember way back in 1999, my flatmate mentioning the Alpha Course to me and I thought – I don’t really fancy doing some course. Reminded me of study and essays and hard work. But she then said ‘I’m doing this Alpha thing want to join me?’ and for some reason I said ‘yes’, probably as she was going too. When I got there, I found friendly people who really wanted to get to know me and listen to me, great food, an interesting talk and an opportunity to chew over and chat about what I thought about the talk. No essays, no homework, just easy going chat!

Alpha became the highlight of my week and I went home buzzing with all I was learning. The stuff I learnt on Alpha and the relationships I made changed my life.

Come along to the first night and see what you think.

If you are planning to come, email me through the staff page so we can cater for you.

I look forward to seeing you there!
