At the beginning of September our church was at prayer.
We ask for God’s Blessing on this 24 hour event.
Loving Lord, we pray, at the beginning of the new Methodist year,
that you will draw us closer to you as we seek to experience what prayer really means.
May we be free to enjoy silence and spoken prayers,
to express our individual relationships with You
through writing, in pictures, or through music.
Lord, we ask that everyone who enters our church will feel welcomed and loved.
May each person experience a way communicating with you in a deep and personal way.
May all who come know the presence of your Holy Spirit and
be enabled to begin a new chapter in their lives with you. Amen
.
Heavenly Father, may your blessing be on all
who are taking up new ministerial positions throughout the country. For their families as they settle into new places and make new friends.
We pray especially for our Circuit’s new ministers:- Rev. Linda & Deacon Pru. May they be blessed
with special gifts from you,
to enable them to do your work amongst us.
Grant them your peace in the knowledge that you have placed them here for your purpose.
May the congregations have the grace
to accept all that they have to offer as we work together to further your kingdom here.
We ask these prayers in the name of Jesus, our Saviour and Friend. Amen

The beginning of a new school year, is a time of change for many people
Lord, we pray for students at many different stages of their formal education.
Give them minds eager to learn;
courage to ask good questions;
confidence to take risks,
and discipline to focus and study.
We pray for quality friendships & safety
in and out of the classroom. Amen
Heavenly Father, we pray for teachers –
those with years of experience;
those just beginning their careers.
Loving Lord, We ask a blessing on all who are tasked with the education of our children.
May they awaken a love of learning in each child.
May they be aware of the individual need
and be sensitive in their dealings with each one.
May those embarking on a teaching career be aware of their great responsibility,
and also of the great joy to be had in awakening enthusiasm in young lives.
Grant all teachers wisdom & love in all that they do. We ask this in the name of our teacher and Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen
Lord Jesus, I ask for your help as I begin this new school year. Allow me to experience Your presence in the many blessings You put before me.
Open my eyes to new challenges and exciting opportunities that this new school year will bring. Open my heart and mind to new friends and new teachers. Give me a generous spirit to be enthusiastic with my studies and courage to accept new opportunities.
Help me to be attentive to my teachers and enable me to experience your presence in new friends.
Jesus, inspire me to do my best this year! Amen
May the strength of God sustain us;
may the power of God preserve us;
may the hands of God protect us;
may the way of God direct us;
may the love of God go with us
this day and forever.
Amen
Please join us for quiet prayer Saturday morning at 10:00 am. .
A request box is available if you would appreciate others praying for a specific person or situation. Every Saturday at 10:00am there is an ecumenical prayer meeting, just for half an hour. New members are always welcome and there is no pressure to pray aloud.
Please make others aware that the Prayer room can be used by anyone. Of course we can pray anytime and anywhere, but sometimes just going to a specific place set aside for prayer might help you to feel closer to God. Give it a try!
There's a loop system installed in the Church and in the Lounge.
