Prayer meetings

I love coming to prayer meeting because not only does it give a great opportunity to catch up with other members of the church in the week, it also helps me teach my kids that being honest with Jesus is ok! They get to see that sharing our struggles and our joys with Him and with one another is a massive help to me, and to us as a Church. And they see different people praying in different ways - I am not their only example and believe me that is a good thing! It's also great not to have to think about what we are going to eat that night.

I always feel better after prayer meeting. When our brothers and sisters pray for each other I find it very encouraging. It has helped me so much to become more open, pray and ask Jesus for help! Coming to prayer meeting has helped me to control my worries and nervousness during the week.

As prayer meeting is held in the middle of the week, it is a perfect opportunity for me to be strengthened until we meet again as a church on a Sunday; something which I desperately need after a busy start to a week. Coming to prayer meeting reminds me of Jesus’ gospel, enables me to have meaningful fellowship and communion with my brothers and sisters and encourages me to pray and be honest before them and my heavenly Father. All this has helped me grow as a Christian and I am confident that God will continue to use it to do so!
