Dale Street Methodist Church

Loving God, living by faith, serving others, bringing hope

A Prayer Page


hands1Prayer is at the centre of our worship.

Together we express our hopes for the world and for wisdom among our leaders.

We support our community of Leamington, praying for the homeless, for children, and for anyone in need.

We pray together for anyone known to us.

 The Prayer Book

The Prayer Book is found during the week in the community room. Anyone who wishes writes requests for prayer at our Sunday service. This includes visitors and members of any group using the church.

The Prayer Group

There is a group at Dale Street who can help you by including you or your family or your concerns in their prayers.

The group uses Whatsapp.

You can submit a request to be sent to the prayer group here.

You can ask to join the Whatsapp group here.

In times of disaster

When people are likely to be seriously affected by exceptional events locally, nationally or in the world, a prominently-displayed A-board will announce the opening of the church for prayer.

A Prayer for God’s gift of Medicine 

When reading this prayer, I encourage you to pause after each medicine and to thank God for all that medicine has done for you or for the people you love and people all around the world that you do not know. The list is not exhaustive and is perhaps a list that can help you think of a medicine that you would like to thank and praise God for.

Lord, we know that medicine can save lives

We want to acknowledge and thank you for your awesome hand in the science of medicine

Working through dedicated people throughout the world

People who tirelessly research trying to find a drug that can save a life

Or make a life better that heals the body and the mind

Or enables someone to live with their condition.

 

We praise and thank you for
