prayer groups

ST HELEN'S

This is a small open group held in St Helen’s Chapel each week on Tuesday mornings at 10.00am.
It has a structured start and finish (i.e. psalms, lectionary and meditation) and a closing prayer. Prayer requests may be left in an appropriate box.
General prayers include those for the Church, the world, the sick, the needy and for individuals. The meetings, which last for half an hour, are followed by coffee. All are made very welcome.
For more information contact the Rev'd Margaret Jones 0121 704 2878.

ST MICHAEL'S

Our Prayer Group is based at St.Michael’s church, and meets monthly in various homes for a short Bible or faith study which is followed by prayers for our church, and the parish and those known to be in need. We pray for God’s leading and His solutions to problems in every aspect of our church fellowship and work.
All ages are welcome to join us.
Many members of our group are pleased to lead the church intercessions during the Sunday morning Eucharist.
We are learning from each other, deepening our faith and widening our knowledge. There is a deep sense of fellowship and love in our group, with no one person being more important than any other.
For more information email Eileen Court or phone on 0121 705 8919.

In addition to the Prayer Group we have another prayer activity that is open to the whole parish:
