Prayer, or talking with God, is part of our way of life, whether through praise, thanksgiving, confession, telling God how we feel, or bringing our needs to him.
If anyone wants others to help them pray for a need, whether for themselves or for someone else, there are various opportunities available:
• Prayer Chain: Urgent requests can be sent around the prayer chain, which is a group of people who pass on the message via telephone and commit to pray for that need in total confidence.
• Prayer Board: There is a prayer board in the foyer at chapel on which requests can be posted.
• Prayer Team: A prayer team will pray for anyone during and after services, or at any other time if requested. There is a prayer corner at the back of the hall and prayer team members wear a badge to indicate they are available.
Regular prayer meetings take place:
• On the first day of each month a prayer breakfast (Breakfast with God) is held in Seeds cafe from 7 to 8am.
• On the third Thursday of each month the ‘Cracked Pots’ (formerly ‘praying wives’) meet at 8pm to pray for the church. The venue varies so please check.
• Every Thursday a lunchtime prayer meeting is held from 12 to 12.30pm in the vestry.
• For those who can’t get to meet at chapel a virtual prayer meeting is held every Wednesday evening between 8 and 10pm. Wherever they are, people stop to pray anytime during that period, using the weekly notices for topics for prayer.
