A Prayer Page
Prayer 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.
CONVERSATION – a prayer for November
Father God; I look out on the view beyond the windows of my home and see the changing of the season;
The evergreens are bearing their berries in abundance and the birds are eating them with relish. I think of their pleasure and yet I want to shout – “Stop, it’s too soon, what will you eat in winter if you eat all of these now.”
There are pots in front of my windows. I filled them with flowers in late spring and have watered and tended them. It was a fine balance to keep them sated in the unprecedented heat without wasting much needed precious water.
They’ve rewarded me greatly with colour and perfume, enhancing, transforming the brick frontage of the building. Now, as autumn overtakes them, their flowers fade and die.
Lord, I smile in the knowledge that they are not gone forever; bulbs have been replenished in the earth for next year, and seeds dropped in profusion on the soil in the pots, all waiting for the right time to reproduce their splendour.
Lord, as your creation follows its patterns, so we move along our paths. I was a seed, held safely until the conditions were right. I was a child, an adult. Each phase with different needs and fulfilments, adapting to changing situations as they presented themselves
Now, with less energy and ability I adapt to physical change. No gnashing of teeth changes that, Lord. Acceptance and ingenuity are more appropriate. Every age has its treasures. Find them. Bask in the glow.
Father God, thank you for journeying with me. There is no better companion, whatever the season. You are the greatest treasure of all.
