Pray as the early church prayed
After the experience of meeting with Christians from Wrose and Bolton to discuss in groups as part of our Lent course, we’re taking the opportunity this month of launching housegroups again.

The subjects match up with the bible readings on Sundays, and each week’s study will include some discussion about the bible passage and some questions about how it applies to our own prayer life. And there will be some prayers to join in with - an opportunity to pray off-the-cuff for those who like to do that, but also a chance to pray set prayers out loud for those who find them more helpful.
You can sign up to join a housegroup on a list at the back of church.

All requests will be kept confidential to the group and won’t become gossip.
You can place a request for prayer by calling Linda G.
