Prayer Connect (Church Prayer Room)

A prayer group who faithfully meet each Friday morning, to pray together and wait on God. All are welcome to come and join us! Aim is to: Connect with God. Why do we meet?: We meet because we want to know the Lord, to know Him, to be led by Him and to know His will for our lives and the church. What we do?: We seek the Lord and draw near to Him, in prayer, in praise, in song Psalm 100). We also spend time listening and in His goodness the Lord has drawn near to us. What is praying?: You could say it is two-way communication with God, whether in silence, in song, in speaking and in listening. God is able to communicate with us in a variety of ways. Who is it for?: It is for those who want to know the Lord more, and have a desire for God to transform the area, themselves and those they love. Do I have to pray out loud?: Not if you don't want to, just come as you are. Are there any key bible verses that the Lord has shared?: A couple, or favourites would have to be Hebrews 11:6(b) – Those who comes to God must believe He exists and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Another is Amos 5:4 – Seek me and live [says the Lord]. So do I have to have loads of faith to come along?: Whether you have a lot of faith or a little, come and join us. What have you got to lose? Please contact the church office if you would like more information.
