Prayer
As well as prayer being an integral part of our Sunday services in church we also have other opportunities to pray for others.
Prayer Chain
Prayer is such a privilege, to be able to talk to God and see answers to our prayers. There has been a ‘Prayer Chain’ in our group of churches for many years. This consists of requests for prayer being circulated by a co-ordinator using email to those who undertake to pray for people who are sick, or troubled in any way, or for circumstances or events. Those who are part of the prayer chain maintain strict confidentiality.
Benefice Prayer
This is a gathering every month at 4 pm on the second Sunday. We have prayer for our benefice, parishes, our new priest-in-charge then we share tea and cakes together.
Open Churches
St Mary’s Church on the Orchardleigh Estate and All Saints Church in Lullington are all open, offering a quiet sanctuary for private prayer. St George’s has a special area just inside the front door with a prayer tree for your requests.
In addition, All Saints Churchyard in Rodden is often regarded as a place of pilgrimage and offers a resting point for weary walkers to pause and sit in a beautiful peaceful setting.
