Opportunities to pray with others

We have several ways that you can join in prayer with others at St Bart’s. All these groups would welcome you to join them and would value your contribution. Here are some ideas:

Daily Morning PrayerThis regular short service (about 20mins) of prayers and bible readings takes place in the Lady Chapel at 9am every day except Sunday. On Wednesday it is a communion service. A lovely way to start the day by focusing on God in the company of others.

Friday Prayers This is a new group meeting in the Lady Chapel 4-5pm on Fridays, starting on 10 June. It will be an opportunity for quiet prayer, for the requests on the prayer board, and other issues known to us, to support the ongoing ministry of the church and the needs of our community. You will not be expected to pray out loud (unless you want to).

WhatsApp Prayer GroupThis group was started during lockdown in 2020. Members share prayer requests which they are aware of, via their mobile phones, and pray in their own time. The group enables immediate prayer in emergencies, and ongoing support for situations of concern. It allows members who may not find it easy to meet in person, to share in the prayer ministry of the church.

In addition, our Life Groups include prayer in their meetings, and share prayer needs in between.If you would like to know more, please speak to Janet Shackleton, or just turn up at one of the times listed.
