PRAYER MEETING
“When two or three gather in my name, there I am with them” Matthew 18:20
The Wednesday prayer group have been meeting in Trinity hall regularly every week for several months.
We have seen wonderful answers to prayer for the church and the church family, community and friends.
It is so encouraging when we bring requests and see healing and guidance. We see God move in ways we hope for and sometimes ways we least expect. In the scriptures we find words of assurance, direction and sometimes challenge as the Spirit leads us, always giving thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour. We are so blessed in this country to be able to meet freely without fear of persecution.
Our first meeting for the year will be this Wednesday 7th January 9.15-9.45am.
If you feel you would like to join us this year or have a specific prayer request please contact Annette 021 104 2754.
