Did you know that a Prayer Wall is available on the Kirk website?
You can find this in the PRAYER section on the Kirk website…and we will be doing our best to keep this section more relevant and fresh.
Please have a look.
Please add your own prayer whenever you wish or need to.
Please ask for prayer support if you have a particular need…for yourself or another.
Each prayer written will be monitored first by members of the Prayer Team before it is made public, so anything private or sensitive will be picked up.
You are invited to ask for follow-up if it is helpful or to mention if you wish the prayer content to remain private within the Prayer Team and not be made public on the Wall.
Please remember that the Prayer Team can be contacted through John and Lindsay with any request and they will prayerfully act on the content. The Team members can also meet you somewhere suitable if this is required. There is also a Prayer Box for any request in the Kirkgate Centre Foyer and a Prayer Bench is now available in the Kirkyard – top left under the large tree – a place to pause with God.
A prayer….
Lord, we hand these ventures and opportunities over to You.
We thank You for the wonder of Prayer.
Now we ask you to do amazing things among us through this Prayer Wall!
Give us wisdom and answers as we call out to you!
In Jesus’ name
Amen.
