come and transform individual lives, churches, communities,
institutions, towns and cities. All over the world God is responding
to the prayers of His people. |

PRAYER
MINISTRY |
|
Prayer
Ministry is available during or after every Sunday service and on
Wednesdays 1.00pm - 2.00pm in church. Whatever you need - be it
physical, emotional or spiritual, for yourself or others - this is a
wonderful opportunity to bring it before the Lord and be ministered
with in a confidential and sensitive manner. If you cannot get to
church and would like someone to pray with you at home, this can be
arranged by contacting Billy Holmes or Ruth Hannah via the Parish
Office. TEL:028 70344213

|
PRAYER
REQUESTS |
| Our
parish has a number of ways to facilitate prayer requests from
parishioners: |
| |
|
CRISIS
MOBILE |
|
This
is a quick-reaction, short- term prayer mobile telephone system set up
so that requests for prayer may be communicated quickly to people who
will 'stand in the gap" and support someone in prayer during a crisis
period in their life. Within a short period of time over 40 contacts
will be lifting the crisis situation to Almighty God. Any information
shared will be treated in confidence. |
| |
|
HOME
PRAY-ERS |
|
We have a group of
people who serve the church by praying faithfully at home over our
Parish Prayer Focus each week, prayer requests from children each
month and longer-term prayer requests. Priceless.
 |
| |
| ALL-AGE
PRAYER TREE |
|
During our monthly All-Age service, led in prayer and worship by our
Junior Worship Group, we have a Prayer Tree which facilities anonymous
prayer requests from children and adults – if you’re at this service –
feel free to leave your seat at any stage and go and hang a request on
the Prayer Tree (normally next the Welcome Desk). These requests are
then prayed over each month by our Home Pray-ers group.
|
 |
|
 |
|
PRAYER TRIPLETS |
|
Presently, we’re unsure of the number of prayer
triplets, duplets or quads who meet together. If you are in a triplet
(duplet or quad) or wish to join one - please let us know. Please
contact the Parish Office 028 70344213. |
| |
|
WHAT TO PRAY
FOR? |
There is
just so much to pray for that sometimes we get lost and so bewildered
that we just don’t pray.
|
|
STAND FOR
PRAYER |
|
Stand
for Prayer gives some guidelines as to what to pray for and how to
pray – how do we pray for the news? – and who we can pray for. There
are also some very informative Pray Through The News sheet and also
Prayer Diaries, eg, Christian Renewal Centre. Take a look next time
you’re in and take a STAND FOR PRAYER. or please contact the Parish
Office 028 70344213. |

|
PARISH
PRAYER FOCUS
|
| Is
produced every week and is very relevant to our Parish – look out for
one on the Welcome Desk in St Patrick’s, particularly on Prayer Day. |
