In addition to the main church we have a side chapel which is available at most times during the day for private prayer.  There are morning prayers for anyone who wishes to attend from Monday to Friday at 9.15am which last for about 15 minutes. 

Lord God,

We thank you that in prayer we can meet with you at anytime of day or night for you neither slumber nor sleep,
that we need no special place to meet with you for you are everywhere.

Lord, Thank you:
That we can share  our joy and our pain with you,
That we can bring  our needs to you and you will meet us in our need,
That we can confess the wrong things we have done and you will forgive us,

O Lord our God, How majestic you are in all the earth!

Amen

Weekly prayers

Living God,
each day brings the possibility of the new in our journey with you.
Help us to cherish what we have learnt from yesterday;
to let go of its hindrances;
to give to you our fears for tomorrow;
and to seek you and respond to you in this present moment.
May we be so aware of you that each moment becomes a holy place,
and each encounter enriched by your grace. Amen

Alison Tomlin, President Designate of the Methodist Conference 2010-11
