Transformation Thurrock : Parliamentary and Council Election Prayer in Thurrock

Parliamentary and Council Election Prayer in Thurrock

The 2010 General Election is the most important in a generation. Not since the two elections of 1974 have the parties been so close and scrutiny of policies been so intense.

Transformation Thurrock are facilitating and promoting three days of prayer for the candidates for Thurrock's two parliamentary constituencies and for the council seats across the borough - and the voters, and God's people as they vote too.
