Praying for our Nation

Worship leaders Gerald Coates and Noel Richards wrote this song based on Isaiah 60: 2 Great is the darkness That covers the earth Oppression, injustice and pain Nations are slipping In hopeless despair Though many have come in Your name Watching while sanity dies Touched by the madness and lies Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus Pour out Your spirit we pray Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus Pour out Your spirit on us today © Gerald Coates and Noel Richards 1992 Thankyou Music Ltd Does this worry you? Are you 'touched by the madness and lies'? Do you feel powerless or overwhelmed? Come and dig into the word of God and pray with us. Thursday mornings during school term, at 10am.

We have met almost every Saturday morning since April 2016 and have experienced some incredible times as we have prayed and worshipped together. It is a growing group but there is still space for anyone who wants to join us, and you would be very welcome as we worship God, push into his presence, bring before him the needs of our communities and pray for the Holy Spirit to come and heal our land.
