A new monthly prayer meeting for all St.Stephen’s congregations starting this month. Madeline Light writes…..
“Prayer underpins all that we are and all that we do at St Stephen’s. Intercessory prayer continues throughout the week, by ourselves, in groups, on Sundays before the first service and in services.
A number of us feel that it would be good to have an opportunity for as many as possible in the Church to get together, once a month. Fixing a day and a time is always going to be difficult. However, in the first instance and in the hope that this will suit the majority of people, we have gone for a Tuesday evening (specifically, the last Tuesday in the month) from 7.45 (prompt) to 8.45 (prompt – unless we get carried away …), to be followed by a cup of tea/coffee for those who can stay and chat, finishing perhaps by 9.30.”
The first meeting will be at “Call to Prayer”, St. Edmund’s, Fishergate, NR3 1SE, on Tuesday 28th February at 7.45pm. Further details from the church office: 07887 472 678.
