Prayer
​
Prayer is as easy as breathing, even the youngest of children can do it. And yet even the most mature of Christians are still asking ‘Lord, teach us to how to pray’.
Prayer is essentially the word we use to describe talking to God. It is about relating to God and can take many forms – we tend to think of speaking, but it’s also about listening, singing, writing or painting and even silence can be prayer.
Midday Prayers
Starting back August the 11th, and running from Monday to Thursday at12 noon. We meet in the Long Room in St John's Church Office at Low Port Centre. All are welcome to pop in to pray. We use Northumbria Community's Midday prayer. Most days a member of the team will be around but it is straightforward for anyone to lead prayers using the simple instructions in the room. If you can't make it along in person, you can always join in wherever you are and be part of our rhythm of prayer as a church together.

Parents Praying is a new group for parents of nursery and school aged children to pray for one another and our children. It will be at Low Port Centre fortnightly on Fridays 9.30-11.00am. Drop in for a cuppa, a short reflection and some time to pray alone or with others.
​
Check the Church Calendar for the next meeting.
​
If you have older kids, please do feel free to come along too. The idea for the group came about during conversations among parents of nursery and primary aged kids, but the intention of the group is to create an open-ended space for parents to be and receive and to pray.

Special Prayer Events
We organise a number of special events occasionally. Examples are 24/7 (where we pray for a whole week, day and night signing up for a specific time period) and Prayer Walking.
