Key Events

Whenever we make space to seek the Lord, he never wastes a moment.

Prayer has always been a high priority for us as a church, and we've found such value in beginning the year with a Month of Prayer over the past few years, so will be doing so again as we welcome in 2026.

We'll be holding various events over the month, including some whole-church prayer & worship gatherings, so make sure you check back regularly to see what's going on. We also have a booklet to help us find a weekly rhythm to help us pray - you can pick up a copy each Sunday through January.

Prayer and worship have been at the heart of our journey as a church over many years and we especially want to push into these areas as we start 2026. 

So, once a week throughout January we will gather to pursue God's presence together as a church, worship Him and bring our community, our city and our nation before Him. It has been from some of our gathered times that we've heard God speak most clearly about our future as a church.

We'd love for you to be part of this too, so why not come along. __

As well as sharing the gospel with the people of Nottingham, we are also committed to reaching other nations around the world.

Come and join us online as we spend some time praying together for the churches that we have already begun to build relationships with across the world, as well as to bring the nations and current situations before God.

Join us on Zoom as we hear stories of courageous faith from around the world, receive updates from various mission trips, and stand together in prayer and intercession for the global church.

These termly events are a chance for us to gather as a community of young adults, to enjoy teaching and input on topics which are live and relevant to us.

For this YA Teaching evening Fusion will be joining us to lead a workshop on evangelism, helping us build practical skills and confidence when sharing the good news of Jesus. We'll then finish with a time of prayer, praying for students and young adults to come to faith in our city.

This will be such a valuable evening, equipping us for mission in our lives - in our workplaces, neighbourhoods and friendships - and equipping students ahead of CU events weeks in February.

This will be running in place of our YA Home Groups this week, so if you're in one of our YA Home Groups we'd encourage you to come to this evening together!

Our Good Friday events are always a precious time, and we want to extend this to families too! So, on Good Friday we'll be holding an interactive morning that gives families the opportunity to explore the events of Easter together.

Over the last few years, our Good Friday event has been a precious, moving evening and a chance to pause to remember Jesus.

The Bereavement Journey is a 7 week programme designed to help anyone explore and process the loss of someone important to them. Grief is often accompanied by deep sorrow and pain. The separation from someone close to us causes emotional, psychological and physical reactions which can feel overwhelming. Loss needs to be processed for our physical and mental health and wellbeing. Unresolved grief can also affect our attitudes, relationships and attainment

The Bereavement Journey has been designed to validate every person's experience and support them as they learn to live life without the person they love, through a series of films and discussion groups that gently guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps. Topics include: "Attachment, separation and loss", "The impact and pain of bereavement", "Anger and guilt", "Coping with others' reactions", "Adjusting to change", "Delayed and suppressed grief", and "Moving forward healthily".

The course provides a great place for talking to others who have been bereaved, or just hear how others are experiencing and dealing with similar issues. Grief is more easily managed when journeying with others and past losses can be opened up safely.

Some more general information can be found online at https://www.thebereavementjourney.org/ and questions about our course at Grace Church can be sent to bereavement@gracechurchnottingham.org

Sign Ups will open nearer the time.

Once a term we set aside three days as a church to pray and fast together. Prayer & Fasting, which runs from Tuesday to Thursday, has been at the heart of our journey as a church over many years and it's from some of these times that we've heard God speak most clearly about our future as a church. We pray because we know the power it holds and we fast because time and time again in the Bible we see God move as His people fasted.

We run prayer meetings every evening on these days at 7.30pm at the church building.

We'd love you to consider fasting for all or some of these three days. Fasting is deliberately abstaining from the normal routines of life in a way that causes us to depend on God. For some helpful tips on fasting and why we do it please visit graceconnection.co.uk/fasting.

Something special happens when the church gather to pray so we'd love you to be part of it.

Join us on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7.30pm.
