Prayer Group
The Prayer Group meets four times a year
- September – a time of rededication for the year ahead
- December – Advent
- April – Christian Passover
- June – walk around the church stopping at different areas for prayers, readings and meditations.
The group is very ecumenical and includes many people from other local branches of the Christian church. At the meetings there are quiet times, periods when we can name those in need of our prayers and an opportunity to be prayed for, on an individual basis, by Shelia.
The meetings always end with tea/coffee and home baking and of course friendly fellowship.
