Monthly Prayer Meeting via Zoom
Revd Mark Poole invites you to join him for an informal time of prayer via Zoom.
We had a wonderful time of prayer over Zoom on Tuesday 10th November, and our next meetings are on Monday 14th December and Thursday 14th January. Each will last about an hour, commencing at 7:00pm, and will be an opportunity to pray for the needs of our communities, our nation and our world especially during these difficult times. It will also be an opportunity for us to pray for God's mission in our benefice as we seek to serve in His Kingdom.
You are very welcome to join us. If you know anyone else who worships elsewhere and who may like to join us then please let them know the dates and forward the Zoom link so they can join us.
The Zoom invitations will be sent out a few days prior to each evening. Please email Revd Mark Poole to receive an invitation.
If you do not wish to join us, but would like prayer, then let Mark know, including whether you are happy for this to be prayed for during the meeting.
Do you want someone to pray for you?
Every week in our intercessions at Church we offer prayers for the sick and now we have weekday worship in our Churches we would like to pray for the sick, bereaved or those in any kind of need. Please let Judith have any names.
