PRAYER
Prayer lies at the very heart of a Christian’s relationship with the living God and we want to encourage one another in the discipline and joy of daily prayer. We make sure it is a feature of our coming together as a church family each Sunday (both through lay-led intercessions and a Prayer Ministry Team) and at our monthly Prayer Hour. The Prayer Hour is an opportunity to pray together for local and global concerns and to give thanks for the way that God works amongst us. All welcome.
Prayer Hour - Third Tuesday of each Month 7.30 - 8.30pm
Nov - March on Zoom (see The Post for details)
April - Oct in person in the Church Hall
We also have a Prayer Request Group for urgent prayer requests. Please contact Catherine catherine@duggleby.com who will forward your email to the group for confidential prayer.
