PRAYER
Prayer is at the core of who we are. In a world where there's a growing call for intercession as creation cries out, we want to be part of this movement as a church and as individuals. We aim for our lives, our homes, and our church to be places where seeking God in prayer comes first.
Remember in your Prayers this week

God’s continued revelation and guidance as we seek to be his people in this Parishthinking especially of the loved ones of Michael Goodwin, Venetia Croxford, Gill Fraser
Need Prayer?
We believe prayer is both a privilege and a source of hope. No request is too big or too small - Jesus welcomes every prayer with love and compassion. If you or someone you know needs prayer, send us your request. A dedicated group of prayerful members will lift it up for you, keeping your information confidential and praying faithfully on your behalf.
Monthly Prayer Focus: January
Light for the Journey Ahead
January arrives quietly, carrying both the freshness of a new year and the weight of unanswered questions. The season of Epiphany invites us to pause and reflect on how God reveals Himself - not only in moments of wonder, like the star that guided the Magi, but also in the ordinary steps of our daily lives.
Epiphany reminds us that God’s light is not distant or reserved for the past. It shines into the present, guiding us forward when the path feels uncertain. The Magi did not know the full journey ahead, yet they trusted the light they were given. In the same way, this new year may not come with clear answers, but it does come with God’s faithful presence.
As we step into new beginnings, January offers us space to realign our hearts - letting go of what no longer serves God’s purposes and opening ourselves to fresh vision, renewed hope, and deeper trust. This month, we pray for eyes to recognise where God is already at work, and courage to follow His leading, even when the way feels unfamiliar.
Prayer for the Month
God of light and new beginnings,
As this year unfolds, shine Your light upon our path.
Help us to recognise Your presence in the ordinary and the unexpected.
Give us courage to follow where You lead,
trusting You with what we cannot yet see.
Renew our hearts, deepen our faith,
and guide us into all that You are calling us to be.
Amen.
