Prayer
Prayer, both private and corporate, is part of a Christian Endeavourer's life.
Societies are encouraged to include Chain Prayer in their weekly devotional meeting.
As many members as are able offer short prayers in quick succession. Whilst newcomers may read a verse of a hymn or scripture or read a written prayer, as confidence builds up and the natural reserve about praying in public diminishes, members will begin to express their own thoughts in their prayers.
Either as part of a Society's chain prayer or an Endeavourer's private prayer, the following prayer ideas are offered for you to use over the coming weeks
Prayer Request
Worried? Anxious? Uncertain? Confused?
CE members will pray for you. We will offer your needs to God at our meetings and in our Prayer Meeting.
To add your prayer to our Prayer Points page please submit your prayer request to our Prayer Convener for inclusion.
All requests will be treated with strictest confidence and there is no need to give your full name or details unless you would like us to contact you.
All are welcome to use this facility.
Jesus taught his disciples to be bold in prayer – “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (Luke 11 verse 9) May we seek to know Him better so we can pray in accordance with His will.
Requested Prayers

I would appreciate prayer that God would send the right people in my pathway to encourage and support me. I am going through a difficult time spiritually and would appreciate prayer for deliverance. Thank you.
