Prayer Prayer Prayer

As a Church, Prayer is one of the central pillars in our church life and work – and in our individual lives as disciples of Jesus.

We have a Prayer Team available to listen and chat and pray with you….on a Sunday morning at the Cross after the morning service…..or whenever suits your schedule.

There are prayer request boxes in the Offering House, the Kirkgate Centre foyer and at the East Door in the Kirk building for you to place your request – named or anonymous.

There is the Peace Pathway around the Kirk building during these summer weeks…..including the Prayer Bench at the rear of the building under the large tree (weather permitting!).

If we can help in any way please do contact Linda Wright, Alastair, Susan or Hazel or any member of the Prayer Team.
