What are we doing?
Prayer
In the Church
Prayer
In the Community & World
The Mustard Seed Prayer Group meets every Thursday at 7:30 p.m., coordinated by Mary Dick (01698 325347), in various people's homes to pray for the sick, the church, the community and world. These meetings are open to anyone who would like to join them.
We are currently asking our members to make a commitment to pray for each other. You will find names below to help lead you in these prayers.
If you have a prayer request then please use the contact form to tell us of the situation. If you do not want to use a full name then just a first name will suffice. Prayer requests will be passed to the Mustard Seed Prayer Group where they will be treated with confidence unless you specifically ask that the request be more widely known through the weekly church bulletin.
Monthly Prayer
Who am I?
This or the other?
Am I one person
today
and tomorrow another?
Am I both at
once?
A hypocrite before others
And before myself a contemptible
woebegone weakling?
Or is something within me
still like a beaten army,
Fleeing in disorder from victory
already achieved?
Who am I?
They mock me,
these lonely questions of mine,
Whoever I am, thou knowest,
O God, I am thine!
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
(1906-1945)
