Prayer is central to all we’re about at St John’s. Whilst there are opportunities to pray with others during services & in House Groups, there are various groups who meet together for prayer:
The Prayer Team meet together before the 10am Sunday morning service to pray for the service and listen to the voice of God. They are also available to pray with people during and after the service. If you'd like to find out more about ways to be involved with the Prayer Team, please speak to Karen Procter via the Church Office, who'd be delighted to hear from you.
Prayer Hour is a prayer time that takes place in our worship area at 1pm-2pm on the first Saturday of each month. It's a relaxed but focussed time of intercession, praying for the needs of our church, our community & the wider world. All are welcome, so do please feel free to just turn up, or if you'd like more details, please speak to Karen Procter via the Church Office.
Alongside this, we're very happy as a church to offer prayer to any who'd like it, & Matt, our vicar, & Laura, our curate, are readily available to talk & pray anything through with you that might be on your mind. Equally, Marie, our Parish Administrator, is a trained listener, so do feel free to pop into the church office any weekday morning to see her too. Our 10am Monday service provides a good opportunity for quiet prayer, & there's often the chance to meet with either Matt, Laura or Marie after this service while The Drop Inn is on, so do bear that in mind as well.
The Prayer Chain is a free text message service which sends out prayer requests to those who have signed up to receive them. Anyone can send a prayer request - text 07745 741123 with your prayer need (please include your name, & messages may be edited for space reasons), & this will be forwarded on.
To sign up to receive prayer chain messages, again, please text the same number with your name & a request to join, & we'll gladly add you to the list of those already signed up.
