St Ursula's Small Prayer Groups

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. (Matthew 18: 19-20)

Praying in small groups of two, three and four etc. is a precious gift the Lord has given us that pleases Him. Interceding on behalf of the church family is a special privilege. Not only do we learn together with others what is God's will but also we also learn to trust Him and His decisions for His People. God strengthens the bonds of Christian friendship and faith by prayer.

The church council has recently approved a special effort to encourage prayer in small groups. At present, there are a few known groups that meet regularly to pray for the many needs of our church family - leaders, policies, ministries and individual needs as the Lord leads us in His knowledge.

The church council believes it would be helpful to know of these groups and individuals praying. Through the knowledge of who is praying we can be consciously linked in the Spirit of God.

  • Do you meet regularly with others to pray for the church?
  • Do you pray on a regular basis?
  • Would you be willing to open your group to other members?
  • Would you yourself like to join one of the existing groups?

    If you are interested in praying regularly for the church may I ask you to contact me, Heidi Gusset (031 849 20 74)?

    In doing so I can put you in touch with a group convenient for you, or make a note of the existence of your group. If requested I will gladly provide what support I can for your existing group or in setting up a new prayer group.

    Our church needs your prayers, and what a privilege it is to pray with a fellow member. Come to the Lord, the living stone rejected by people as worthless but chosen by God as valuable. Come as living stones, and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple, where you will serve as holy priests to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:4-5 GNB
