1st March - 31st March 2025

Arise Rotherham is a prayer and mission movement that invites believers in the Rotherham Borough to share their faith more freely.

This is our first year but we are drawing on the experience and positive stories of Arise Sheffield.

The  story so far…

Church leaders in Rotherham Borough have been meeting to pray monthly for many years. We have had larger gatherings of united prayer to pray for our Borough since 2015.

In 2021, we prayerwalked the town of Rotherham in an initiative called Floodtide, very similar to what we are doing this year.

It brought churches together and was an opportunity to bless people living in the streets of our town.

In 2024, during Thy Kingdom Come, we had a prayer pilgrimage to Roche Abbey and also a Pentecost picnic & prayer event by the Heart of Steel, outside Rotherham Minister.

This event drew on the history of the Whit Walks, as many people walked from their churches.

We know God has not finished fulfilling His purposes in Rotherham, so this year we're continuing to pray to see Rotherham transformed. 

Let’s prayer-walk together this March!

“Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.

Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
