Prayer

Prayer

We believe in the importance of prayer, which is about growing a relationship with God. We encourage each other on this journey by offering a variety of opportunities that suit different people.

Prayer meetings

Morning prayer
On Mondays – Wednesdays we use the Church of England’s set morning prayer format as a
guide, so that we begin the week by committing ourselves and all we do into God’s hands. 9.15am –
9.45am at Christ Church.

Thy Kingdom Come prayer
On Wednesdays 7am – 7.30am we meet on Zoom to pray together for our local community and
our church, beginning with a short reflection to inspire our thoughts.

Retreats and quiet days

• Relationships need time and attention if they are to grow, and our relationship with God is no
  different. We believe in the importance of taking time out, stepping aside to rest in God’s
  presence.
• We run quiet days and retreats and women’s prayer breakfasts.
• We encourage you to book your own retreat. Here are some of our favourite places to go:
  • Mill House Retreats
  • The Well Centre for Spirituality
  • Llangasty Retreat House
  • Ammerdown Retreat Centre
  • Lee Abbey
  • Harne Hill Christian Centre

Prayer ministry
If you need prayer for deeper issues that you feel are holding you back from growing closer to
God, our trained team may be able to pray with you by appointment.
