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.


December – A Christmas Prayer

We’re so looking forward to Christmas – spending happy times with family and friends.

But what of those people who are on their own, lonely and will see no one over the Christmas season?

We look forward to the wonderful Christmas meals: turkey, stuffing, loads of vegetables, puddings, trifles, and lots and lots of chocolate!

But what of those people who are hungry, with very little to eat?

We look forward to the lights and decorations brightening up our cosy rooms.

But what of those people who can’t afford to heat their homes, and are in the gloom, cold and shivering?

We know that our kids and grandkids will have loads of presents – toys, the latest gadgets, books and games.

But what of those children who have no presents because their parents/carers are making their money stretch for eating and heating and there is nothing left?       

Lord, we ask your blessings upon all these, but above all to move the hearts of all those who CAN do something about these sad situations.

Lots of organisations work so hard, but they need money and help to do so much more.  We know that WE are your representatives – your hands here on earth.

Help us to realise that we can’t just enjoy our own Christmas without thinking about others.

Amen
