Prayer Meetings

Prayer Meetings are held on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm. These are usually held at the Chapel, but on the last Wednesday of most months we hold Local Prayer Groupsat locations around the city. If you check the calendar on the main site you will find the details for these special meetings.Also once a month we use these to have a missionary focus. Again details are posted on the calendar.For those who cannot make the Wednesday Prayer Meetings on the last Thursday of each month we have an afternoon prayer – Tea and Prayer at 1.45. Again see calendar for dates.

We can all say that in a general sense, we as Christians should attend the meetings at church and be in fellowship with one another in worship and praise to God.To me personally, since I was first converted, attendance at Prayer Meetings was not just a duty – I feel sometimes duty must prevail for our spiritual well being – it was longed for. I have always held the maxim of the middle portion of Acts 16:13, ‘where prayer was wont to be made.’ Let it be in our lives that the above is true; God lays many burdens on our hearts and we can all tell of various issues, which affect us deeply.

I know that at the Prayer Meeting we can pour out our hearts to the Lord in the Family and Fellowship of God’s People, our Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. We do not need to feel embarrassed or intimidated by our feeling the need to pray for personal issues, knowing we have the prayerful support of those around us. You will obviously have gathered that I liken the prayer meetings to the family environment. Let us know the Libert y of Love in our prayers and draw on ever-present help from them.

I also find the Prayer Meeting a haven from the vulgarity of the world, where to step aside on Wednesday evenings is a pleasure to be enjoyed. Due to my shift patterns, I cannot get to Prayer Meetings each week and when I can they are more to be appreciated! ”
