Prayer Requests

HEALING BOOK

There is a book on the altar in the Church in which you are invited to write the names of anyone for whom you would like prayer. However, please make sure you have asked the person’s permission before including any name. Those in the book are prayed for at every service and daily by our Home Intercessors team.

PRAYER CHAIN

The Prayer Chain, started over 25 years ago, consists of a group of people who pray for a certain situation or person at a specific time. The request for prayer is given to the co-ordinator, and, depending on the need, the request is passed down the chain straight away or at about 6 o’clock in the evening when most people are at home.

An emergency request for prayer could be made when someone has died suddenly, or if there has been a sudden onset of illness, a burglary, fire, flooding, traffic accident or an emergency admission to hospital. A less urgent request, which would be put out in the evening, could be the date of an operation, an important interview, the commencement of treatment, or perhaps an appointment with a GP or consultant.

The number of requests vary each week. We pray for people from around the world, and for people of different faiths and no faith at all. Thank you messages are also passed around the Chain, as these can be very encouraging for those who pray. Details of how to contact the Co-ordinator can be found in the Church Porch or in "Shore Line" Magazine.

PRAYTIME


We meet in the church every Monday afternoon 3pm – 4 pm

with an interval for music about 3.30 pm.


It is a very beautiful and peaceful

time of quiet meditation and prayer for our parish and the wider world.

We also pray for those who have asked for prayer for healing.

At 4pm we say Evening Prayer finishing by 4.30 pm.

Everyone is very welcome to join us for all, or part of the time.
