Prayer 20:20
Each month the churches of Alton take time to pray together for the opportunities of mission and ministry in our town and surrounding area. This started in 2020 under the initiative 20:20 prayer. We meet on the 20th day of each month, at 20:20 (8.20pm) for 20 minutes. We decided to continue this through 2021 too. Therefore we meet this Tuesday – 8.20pm – for 20 minutes.
