In 2025, the churches, schools and chaplaincies of the Diocese are called to a year of focused prayer for growth and renewal. Individuals or groups of people are invited join a facilitated day at Whalley Abbey to pray for their own context.

The structure of the day is as follows:

  • opening worship
  • facilitated programme of prayer and reflection
  • lunch
  • time to pray in and around the Abbey, optional prayer walk
  • closing worship

There are three stand-alone days left facilitated by Whalley Abbey and Diocesan staff:

5 June: Steve Haskett
28 August: Joy Rushton
21 October: Anna Walker

After taking part, you may feel encouraged to organise a similar day for your faith community.

The cost for this event will be £30.
