Prayer Week
Prayer is an important part of the life of the Church and of the life of each of us as individual Christians.
​
From Sunday 3 August to Sunday 10 August we are having our annual Prayer Week when the church will be open for prayer each day and there will be various activities to help us with prayer.
Unless shown below, each day of the Prayer Week the church will be open for prayer between 8:00am and 4:00pm.
There will be "Prayer Stations" set up in the building as a focus for personal prayer.
There will be a Prayer Labyrinth and benches where people can sit for reflection on the patio between the main worship area and the Hall.
