Prayer Week 2021

Join us as we pray with and for older people and the issues that impact them.

Our annual Prayer Week is an opportunity to pray not just for older people, but for all the generations and the need to build connections across age groups. Our free resource guides you through seven days of prayer based on our Friendship is Ageless campaign where we encourage you to look up and make friends with those from different generations.
