Prayer

Prayer is at the heart of our fellowship.

Our Sunday worship, small groups and other meetings include prayer. We also have regular prayer meetings -

Mens prayer meeting on Saturday morning 9 – 10 am in the Prayer room (at the front of the church above the cafe) sharing as they felt led during the week and building better relationships – often accompanied by coffee and a bacon roll.

Ladies Power Hour in the Coffee lounge, where they pray for all those using the church centre, for the work of the church and for growth in God’s Kingdom, here and overseas.

Have someone pray with you - Our LifeSprings cafe is open Mon – Saturday 10-1pm and if you would like to talk with someone or have them pray with you, just ask one of the staff.  The church and the prayer room are also open during these hours for anyone who wants to pray in quieter surroundings.

There is a prayer request book in the LifeSprings Cafe. Please write down anything or anyone that is on your heart.  These requests are included in the next Sunday service.

There is also a prayer team available after our Sunday morning worship.

SATURDAY – Healing on the Streets

At Big Bridge you can receive healing from the healing team through prayer. This team is made up of people from different churches. They have a back-up team based at Christ Church who are interceding on behalf of all those asking for prayer, and uplifting the prayer team before God that the prayers be answered and wholeness restored.

If you would like more information about being part of this work then send an enquiry form asking about the work of Healing on the Streets.

If you want to read more about prayer this link may be some help.

QUIET PLACES – This is coordinated by Margaret Bolt, (Elder in Charge of Prayer). If you know of any other places then please let us know via the contact form.

Other than all the local churches there are some particular quiet places where it is possible to go for prayer – and include:

Hildenborough

House of Prayer – run by Beauty from Ashes and based in Hildenborough. Jennifer Rees Larcombe opens her home.

This is by appointment 01732 851146 and offers prayer (including Bethel Sozo) and counselling. All of this is designed to help you move closer to God ‘and find new freedom to be the people He designed them to be’.

And where Tuesdays are special – As well as the usual appointments it is possible to extend your stay to include a walk or picnic in the gardens, join in a Midday worship session and ‘feel the house is your home for the day’.

For those unable to visit the house it is possible to have prayer by email or phone. Prayer requests are sent on to ‘Prayer Shouters’ who have a real gift for praying for others, and especially for those who are going through the same things that some of them have been through. Or contact us if you feel led to be a ‘Prayer Shouter’.
