WhatsApp Prayer Group

This group has been running successfully for the past 6 months and has helped us to share prayer requests for people and situations, and to pray in an informed and timely way when a need arises. We have created a private group using WhatsApp on our mobile phones, in order to share prayer requests via text message. Group members commit to praying for the needs mentioned, which remain confidential.

PRAYER DIARY July 2021

Lord we thank you for the gift of prayer,

that you are always more ready to hear

than we are to pray.

Teach us to pray, alone and with others

that in our churches, Diocese,

and with your saints worldwide

we may play our part in the coming of your kingdom.
