Prayer

Prayer is a central part of our life as a church. It is the way we communicate with God.

Prayer happens in many different settings within Charlotte Chapel. Prayer is part of every Sunday service. Many different small groups meet for prayer. Individuals also spend time praying alone.

In prayer, we seek to:

• Thank God for who he is and all that he has done for us.
• Confess the things we have done wrong and ask for forgiveness.
• Ask God about the things that concern us.

The whole church comes together regularly with the main focus on prayer. Prayers are shared for our church, our city and nation and our world. Sometimes there is a specific theme.

All are welcome. No-one has to pray out loud. God hears all our prayers, both spoken and unspoken.

The first Sunday in each month the evening service has a greater focus on prayer. Time is spent praising God in song, and there is always a short message from the Bible. Different groups bring news for prayer. Prayers are then encouraged in small groups or privately.

On the first Wednesday of each month we hold a prayer meeting with a focus on our missionary family around the world. On every Tuesday except the first in the month we hold a general prayer meeting.
