It’s Prayer Week from 18-25 January 2026 - let’s get praying and fasting!
You are invited to join the Woodlands Church Family for a dedicated week of prayer and fasting for our church, city, nation and the world. Let's remember the words of Jesus as we pray. Matthew 6 v 33: 'Seek First His Kingdom'.
As we start 2026, it feels wholly appropriate to gather together in one spirit to fast and pray and cry out to God for his kingdom to come here, as it is in heaven. It is a brilliant way to start the New Year, surrendering ourselves to God's goodness and power and his will for ourselves, our church and our world, which so desperately needs it.
A Week Of Prayer & Fasting
There are lots of ways to join in at home and in person. We’d love it if everyone in our church community got involved…

The Bible teaches the value of fasting in order to focus on prayer and seek God’s will. We would like for our church family to think about fasting and make a plan for how this could fit into your routine during Prayer Week. It could be that you decide to fast a single meal, or fast for a day or even longer. To learn about fasting, read more here or watch this talk from Tim Dobson on Spiritual Disciplines: Fasting & Feasting. If you can only fast one meal or one day, why not fast with others on Tuesday 20 January ahead of the Evening of Prayer & Worship gathering?Download our Prayer Guide

We’ll be posting these on Facebook once a day from Monday through Saturday. Please take some time this week to be praying for:
