Prayer is at the heart of the Christian faith. It is a way of deepening our relationship with God, bringing our hopes and concerns to Him, and giving thanks for His many blessings.

Morning Prayer

We meet in church every Saturday at 9.00 am for a short time of morning prayer. Together, we pray for the world, our parish and the individual needs of those around us.

Everyone is welcome to join us.

A Place for Prayer

Our church is open to all who wish to spend some quiet time in prayer or reflection.

You are welcome to write a prayer request and place it on our Cross of Prayer. At our services of Holy Communion, the cross is taken to the altar, and our Saturday prayer group remembers all the requests that have been offered.

You may also wish to light a candle at our votive candle stand. Bibles are available in church, and you are welcome to sit quietly, read and pray.

Praying for Our Community

Each week, we remember in prayer the residents of a different road within our parish, holding our local community in our thoughts and prayers.

Daily Prayer

The Church of England provides prayers for every day of the year. You can join in this daily rhythm of prayer by clicking on the Daily Prayer logo below to access today’s prayers.

 

Pray as you Go

Pray As You Go is a daily prayer session, designed to go with you wherever you go, to help you pray whenever you find time, but particularly whilst travelling to and from work, study, etc.

A new prayer session is produced every day of the working week and one session for the weekend. It is not a ‘Thought for the Day’, a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer.

Lasting between ten and thirteen minutes, it combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection.

The team who provide this excellent website aim is to help you to:

• become more aware of God’s presence in your life
• listen to and reflect on God’s word
• grow in your relationship with God

The style of prayer is based on Ignatian Spirituality. It is produced by Jesuit Media Initiatives, with material written by a number of Jesuits, both in Britain and further afield, and other experts in the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola. Although the content is different every day, it keeps to the same basic format.

A number of prayer tools, retreats and resources to help supplement your prayer life are also available on the site.

Lectio 365

Lectio 365 is an app designed to help  you pray the Bible by meditating on the scriptures and asking God to speak through them. The app has short devotionals for morning and evening so you can open and close each day with God.

When you pause in His presence, you create space for peace in a busy and complicated world.
