Welcome to our 24-7 Week of Prayer 2025!

What: We aim to offer prayer for our community, our country, and our world, continuously over seven days. We will be doing this as part of a worldwide week of prayer organised by the 24-7 International prayer movement. There are activities within the Chapel to engage with as you choose or use the time to be with God in your own way.

 

When:  From 3 pm, Sunday 31 August to 3 pm, Sunday 7 September

​​

Where:  The Chapel at Rotorua Hospital.

 

Access: In daylight, from 7 am - 7 pm, we will have two carparks close to the Chapel, reserved for 24-7, see map. The external double wooden doors into the Chapel will have a 24-7 sign on them and will be unlocked. You can also access the Chapel by walking through the hospital as shown on the map. We encourage car pooling for any groups.

At night, from 7 pm - 7 am, all access will be via the main hospital entrance. You will need to check in at the front desk, and a security guard will escort you to the Chapel, as some internal doors are locked at night. You can exit on your own the same way back, and press the "Open doors to exit" signs to open any locked doors. Car parking is easier at night and you can park in the p15 parks close to the main doors, see map. The main carpark is closed from 12 pm to 5.30 am.

​

Who:  All are welcome from any Rotorua church

​

How: All participants must register online to book an hour or more at a time, day or night. You can choose to share this time with others or book it exclusively when registering. We encourage you to consider joining with friends such as a home group. Families with children are welcome but the children must be supervised at all times.

If you prefer to pray from home, or somewhere offsite, you don't need to register. However, we would like to acknowledge your involvement, so please inform either the contact person at your church or Elizabeth Pilaar (event coordinator) directly at cepilaar63@gmail.com. We will circulate a list of prayer topics to churches for use if desired.

​​

Registration: On pressing the Register button you'll be taken to the calendar for our week in September. Click onto the slot of the day and hour you want to book and follow the prompts. It is best to create a Login so you can change your booking later, but you can just proceed as a guest if you prefer.
