We are passionate about the power of prayer. Prayer underpins everything that happens at Church in the Marketplace, and there are opportunities for us to come together to pray in small groups. Some of us struggle with the discipline and practice of prayer and find being with others helpful. Whether we are praying with others, or on our own, prayer helps us to be immersed in the world as God sees it.
Prayer requests
If you need prayer for something specific, then ask someone to pray with you. A prayer request card is also available in the chapel on the ground floor of the Church in the Marketplace or from the front desk.
