Church life
We want to share the joy and happiness that God’s love brings out in everyone.
We are all equally made in God’s image and loved by him. All are welcome in this place.
As an Episcopal Church in this place, we seek to:
-
worship God so that all that we do is informed by Spirituality and Prayer.
-
make available and share in the sacraments of the Church.
-
reflect and work within the community to whom we are sent, promoting Christ’s love for all.
-
be accessible and open to all people.
Prayer is an integral part of our life together. We encourage regular personal prayer to build up your own relationship with God. Together we offer prayers of intercession each week in our services.
Members of Churches Together gather to pray on Thursdays at 11am in Greyfriars.
The Diocese has a cycle of prayer that we follow to pray for each of the charges within our Diocese
We have our own prayer diary to help us pray regularly for the life of our local communities.
Here are some helpful prayer resources:

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
