“Prayer is the key to unlock all the storehouses of
God’s infinite grace and power.
All that God is, and all that God has is at the disposal of prayer.”
– R. A. Torrey

Most of you are probably aware
of the various prayer activities that take place in our church,
however, some of you may wish to find out more details about each
activity and its purpose.
Below are some information and an invitation to participate in one
or all of the prayer activities that are taking place.
Pre-service Prayer
Every Sunday at 10.45 a.m., we come together in the Prayer Room for about 20 minutes
to pray. We pray for everyone involved in the service
- our preacher, bible reader, duty steward, pianist, choir, congregational
hosts and most of all for everyone who attends the service. We also pray for the missionary ministry and vision of the church, and pray for the community of Wan Chai.
Q: How do I participate?
A: Just come forward when you hear the
announcement. We usually wait for a couple of minutes after the
announcement is made to allow people to make their way to the front
to join us. So…next time you are there when the
announcement is made, make your way to join us!
Q: You mean I can be there but not say a word, except
‘Amen’?
A: Yes, it’s as simple as that.
After Service Prayer
At the end of the service, you will see 3 to 4 prayer team members
standing on the dais. This has been going on for almost a year now.
The prayer team will pray for you in confidence and team members
are not allowed to share amongst each other. So it is just between
you and God and we are there just to support, to serve and to pray
for you.
Q: Why do I need to ask somebody to pray for me? I can
pray on my own!
A: True, you can pray on your own, however, there are times when
you are so burdened or distressed that you need someone to pray
for you and with you. God called us to carry each other’s
burdens (Gal 6:2). We do remember you during our own personal prayer
time so our prayer with you does not just stop as a one time prayer.
Q: What kind of prayers can I request?
A: Anything. Even if your life is smooth sailing, you can still
come forward to share the blessings and to give thanks to God by
praying with the prayer team. |

Prayers
Jesus, open my eyes to your presence,
open my ears to your call,
open my heart to your love.
Grant me the grace to follow you,
wisdom to discern the way
and strength in times of challenge.
Help me to trust you and give myself to you,
so that I may become your true disciple.
Amen.
— Howard Mellor
Forgive us O Lord,
when we listen, but do not hear;
when we look, but do not see;
and when we feel, but do not act.
By your mercy and grace,
draw us into the righteous deeds of your kindom of justice and peace,
through Christ our Lord.
— Maria Hare (1798-1870)
Awesome God of grace,
may we never cease to be amazed,
by the miracle of each returning day.
Just as you looked upon each day in creation and saw it was good,
may we learn to pause each returning day to see, treasure and ponder ino ur hearts all that is good
Amen.
— Jenny Ellis
Lord our God,
as with all creation
we offer you the life of this new day,
give us grace to love and serve you
to the praise of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen. |
