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.

Our Christmas Prayer

Comforter God,

As we enter into Advent and look with hope toward Christmas,

Help us to remember those for whom the carols bring little joy, and for whom the Christmas bells ring hollow;

 

As we sing of Christ, the Little Tiny Child,

We ask that you be beside those who grieve the loss of their own little ones, at a time of year when those shadows fall longer and darker.

 

As we sing of Tidings of Comfort and Joy,

We pray that you would be beside those who will spend this Christmas alone, or for whom life at home brings more fear than comfort.

 

As we sing of a Silent Night,

We ask that you would bring peace to those working in retail and hospitality, for whom Christmas means stress and long hours, and calm is hard to come by.

 

And as we sing of kings Bearing Gifts,

We pray that, with many struggling to make ends meet, the worldly message to spend lavishly is drowned out by your call to love abundantly.

 

In the name of Christ, the Prince of Peace,

Amen

 

Matt Jones
