Using a webapp, Christians across Wycombe showed which streets they had prayed for April to June 2022.
  • At least 58 individuals, from at least 22 different churches, walked and prayed over the roads marked above in the 6 weeks prior to the celebration.
  • 3 central gatherings for prayer were held in the same period, lifting up the churches and ministries across Wycombe, as well as the social action efforts and celebration..

Social Action

  • More than 12 churches ran or facilitated a way to show God’s love practically and generously to our town.
  • No count of how many people were connected with and served, but based on the number and type of events, a conservative estimate would be 200+ individuals directly, and numbers more indirectly.

Celebration

  • Sunday 12 June at 11am, we gathered on the High Street for the first time. The Market Square area provided a central and visible location, and the existing bunting and flowers provided by High Wycombe BIDco added to the festive feel of worshipping together with one voice.
  • 80 people (at least) were involved in making LW22 happen, at one level or another…
    • 25 churches were represented by these 80 people,
  • We think about 1000 – 1500 people were present but no accurate way of counting
  • We’ve ended up with just over the same amount in the Love Wycombe bank account as we started with, remaining from previous years.
    • 21 churches contributed and sponsorship received from High Wycombe BIDco.
  • Roughly £900 collected by Growing Hope in donations direct from people, as well as contact made with potential volunteers and families who need their support.

… and this was Love Wycombe 2022
