Our Prayer Events
It’s great to hear first-hand what the Lord is doing among the Armed Forces!
Our prayer events offer the opportunity to gather and pray for the mission of SASRA.
Meet with our Scripture Readers, Headquarters team and supporters throughout the year to hear our latest updates and pray for the work. These times of fellowship are informative, encouraging and a great support to the Association.
It would be delightful to see you at any of our upcoming prayer events, which are listed below.
Upcoming Prayer Events:
Remembrance day
virtual prayer meeting
On Monday 11 November, we will meet together to pray purposefully for members of our Armed Forces and SASRA Scripture Readers at our Remembrance Day Virtual Prayer Meeting.
The meeting will begin at 10:55 so that the two minutes’ silence can be held before attendees spend time in prayer. If you wish to attend and do not receive our meeting invitations already, then contact us on zoom@sasra.org.uk, or on
03000 301 302.
Virtual Prayer Meetings
We hold our Virtual Prayer Meetings on the first Thursday of each month at 14:00 and 19:30.
Join staff and supporters on Zoom as we hear updates from our Scripture Readers and pray for the work together. For more details, please email zoom@sasra.org.uk, or call HQ on 03000 301 302.
Previous Prayer Events:
Tattoo special virtual prayer meeting
On Thursday 1 August, we heard stories and encouragements from the team at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Will also set time apart to pray for the opportunities enjoyed.
Armed Forces day special virtual prayer meeting
On Armed Forces Day, we gathered to pray for military personnel with a specific focus on their mental health and wellbeing. Several Scripture Readers shared of their experiences of supporting individuals mentally, emotionally and spiritually, before those in attendance spent time praying for them.
D-Day Special virtual prayer meetings
On the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, we gathered to remember the people who gave their lives in one of the most significant amphibious operations in military history.
We heard about the role and impact of SASRA over that time, and we gave thanks for Scripture Readers who proclaimed the gospel to those who might have soon been facing their Maker, having fallen on the beaches or fields of Normandy.
Of course, there still stands a call to pray for today’s Armed Forces and so time was spent praying for the men and women who currently serve our nation and for today’s Scripture Readers who support them.
