Collect for the Week:

Almighty Lord and everlasting God,
we beseech you to direct, sanctify and govern
both our hearts and bodies
in the ways of your laws
and the works of your commandments;
that through your most mighty protection, both here and ever,
we may be preserved in body and soul;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

A Prayer of an Indian Christian

O tree of Calvary, send your roots deep down into my heart. Gather together the soil of my heart, the sands of my fickleness, the mud of my desires. Bind them all together.

O tree of Calvary, interlace them with thy strong roots, entwine them with the network of thy love.

A Prayer Found in Chester Cathedral

Give me a good digestion, Lord,
And also something to digest.
Give me a healthy body, Lord,
With sense to keep it at its best.

Give me a healthy mind, good Lord,
To keep the good and pure in sight,
Which, seeing sin, is not appalled,
But finds a way to set it right.

Give me a mind that is not bored,
That does not whimper, whine or sight.
Don't let me worry overmuch
About the funny thing called I.

Give me a sense of humour, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke;
To get some happiness from life,
And pass it on to other folk.

Worship and Prayer

Prayer Team
There is a prayer team, members of which are available each Sunday after the service to pray with anyone who has a prayer need of whatever kind.

Contemplative Prayer
The contemplative prayer group meet regularly to pray in a quiet way, exploring the more meditative aspects of prayer.

Prayer Chain
The Prayer Chain is available to anyone who has a specific prayer request at any time of the day. This request is passed around the chain for prayer, with confidentiality being respected.

For more information please contact:
John Taylor (Tel: 01229 583978)

Healing Ministry
The healing ministry is an important part of who we are, with several Church members trained in this aspect of Christian service. In addition, we have regular healing services during the normal pattern of morning worship, where specific prayer for healing is available.
