We believe that our prayer life is very important. On this page you will find resources for prayer, and you can also send us a prayer request, if there is anything you would like us to pray for (all prayer requests are treated as confidential, and are seen only by the prayer team).
If you would like to join the prayer team, please speak to Ruth Cooper.
