Prayer is at the heart of the Christian faith.  Through prayer, we deepen our relationship with God as we bring him our concerns and our gratitude.

We meet for morning prayer on Saturday mornings at 9.00 am in the church.  During this short time together we pray for the world, the parish and for any individual needs.

On Thursdays at 9.00pm, we meet for Compline (Night Prayer) on Zoom.  Do email the parish office for Zoom details: parishoffice@easthorsleychurch.org.uk

To help you pray in the church we have a Cross of Prayer where you can write your prayer request and place on the cross.  At services of Holy Communion the cross is taken to the altar. On Saturdays, our prayer group pray for all that has been offered.

Our votive candle stand is there for you to light a candle if you wish.  There are bibles in the church and you are welcome to sit, read and pray.

Each week we pray for residents in a different road in our parish.

The Church of England has set prayers for every day of the year. Click on the Daily Prayer logo below to access today’s prayers.

Wings of Prayer

We have formed a small prayer group to pray for any urgent need.   If you have a prayer request, please contact Rev Sandy Conway 01483 281497.  She will alert the prayer group who will pray in strict confidence.

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.
