St George’s Prayer Chain

What is St. George's Prayer Chain? 
It is a commitment by a number of Christians from St. George's Church to pray for people and situations. 
Its purpose is to have several church members praying in a short space of time for any prayer request.
Who/what can be prayed for? 
Requests can be made by anyone who feels in need of prayer, or who has a friend, neighbour or relative in need of prayer. It is recommended that those being prayed for should be aware that the request has been made and be in agreement with it.
Will the prayer request become known in church circles? 
No. This is a completely confidential process.
What can I put on the prayer chain? 
Any situation that causes sadness, anxiety, joy or distress, for example:-

• Family worries

• Those who are ill or facing surgery, or accident victims

• Those going through stressful times in their lives

• Bereavement and terminal illness

• Thanksgivings and answers to prayer requests

• ...anything!

​How do I make a request? 
Please call or text 07470 681570, and give as much or as little detail as you wish. 
​All information will be treated as confidential and will be deleted, along with the caller's number.

The Labyrinth

By the side of the church is a prayer labyrinth with a cross at the centre. To pray the labyrinth, walk the mown path slowly towards the centre and then back again. As you walk, invite God to join you. Breathe slowly. You may like to focus on a word like ‘love’, ‘joy’, ‘patience’, or let go of a hurt or stress, or ask for guidance, or listen to what God might be saying to you, or simply be in His presence.

To pray is to make our hearts ready to experience the love of God in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Praying regularly will help us to develop a spiritual rhythm. A discipline of prayer changes the way that we think about our lives, because it creates new habits of heart and mind. Prayer opens us more deeply to the transforming grace of God. We enter into God’s presence, allowing the Holy Spirit to pray in us.
