Prayer

if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land
2 Chronicles, Chapter 7, Verse 14

As God’s people we believe that prayer is essential to knowing Him. We regard prayer as a means of talking with God and not just to Him.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

We use the version shown below when praying aloud together.
It will also be displayed on the screen.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours,
now and forever.
Amen.

Pray Without Ceasing

Wednesday has been set aside to encourage the whole church to pray together in thanksgiving and for the needs of others. To this end there are two opportunities during the day. They are led by different people and are especially geared for those who are not used to prayer in groups.

These prayer times of up to 1 hour begin at

• 9.15am
• 7.30pm

Those drawn from a busy schedule to gather for prayer in the Meeting Room just come when they can and go when they must.

Weekly sheets with news and topics for prayer are made available on Wednesdays. There are opportunities for personal prayer for healing or other matters after the Sunday evening service.

..we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.
Daniel, Chapter 9, Verse 18

A Prayer Triplet

A Prayer Triplet is a group of three Christians committed to regularly talking with God together about their families, friends and church activities. They are jointly committed to confidentiality. About 30 of our ladies meet this way, in an informal setting, at mutually convenient times during the week to give thanks, share joys, concerns and aspirations before the Lord.

Prayer Breakfast

Some of our men meet together in the church cafe between 0700 and 0745 every Thursday morning for breakfast and to share in a short time of prayer and fellowship. Those who attend are blessed in that God has often used this unique opportunity not just to draw His servants closer to Him but also as a encouragement to the whole church fellowship.
