This section is to make known any prayer opportunities that would help to bring people together across the churches. Please use the contacts page to let us know of prayer events being hosted by your church.

Prayer Week
Sadly due to the on going COVID situation there are no events planned for Prayer Week. The following resources may prove helpful.
Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.
During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will:
- Deepen their own relationship with Jesus Christ
- Pray for the empowerment of the Spirit that we would be effective in our witness
- After the very first Ascension Day the disciples gathered with Mary, constantly devoting themselves to prayer while they waited for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
Through the centuries Christians have gathered at that time to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit. ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ picks up this tradition. Over the years more and more worshipping communities have dedicated the days between Ascension and Pentecost to pray ‘Come Holy Spirit’.
Prayer Tree Project
The Prayer Tree Project invites people to connect with God in prayer and offers to pray for them in Jesus’ name.
A small group drawn from several CTE member churches take this project to visit various community events over the summer period and is always encouraged by the responses it receives during its various “outings”.
The idea of the Prayer Tree is simply to invite people (of faith or “none”) to consider connecting with God in prayer – with the promise that local Ewell Churches will offer up any written prayer requests submitted to the team in their services in the following week or so.
Do get in touch if you would like to know more or are organising an event at which you would like an interchurch prayer team present.
More information is also available on the Hope-Epsom and Ewell & Prayer Tree facebook page.
“If my people, who are called by my Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land”
