Prayer

Prayer is the most important resource available to us.  If you would like prayer for yourself or on behalf of someone else we are here for you.
 
Prayer ministry is available during and after our Sunday services.  If it is not obvious where this is taking place then please do ask.
 
Prayer meetings are held regularly - every Tuesday 8-9pm in the evening.  Everyone is welcome. Click here for more details

Prayer gatherings are also held ad hoc in the evenings, further details will be published in the notices, by church family email (usually sent on a Friday) and in the church calendar.

The Prayer Course www.prayercourse.org – is six interactive sessions based on The Lord’s Prayer, covering topics such as intercession, dealing with disappointment, learning to listen and spiritual warfare.  Please email our reception team if you would like to do this the next time it is run.

Confidential prayer - this is available if you would like prayer for a specific situation or urgent need. In these circumstances please contact Maureen Edwards: prayerchain@stpaulsdorking.org.uk.

Our prayer co-ordinators are Nick and Maggie White.  They oversee all of the different prayer teams and types of prayer that happen across the life of the church.  Please contact him by email:  mneawhite@ntlworld.com
