Prayer

Prayer is the beating heart of our church. Every Tuesday at 9am the church staff and members from all our congregations meet to pray for the church, the community and the world. You’re very welcome to join us.
All Saints Church is open Wednesday from 9.30 to 12.00 and Friday 11.00 to 1.00 so that anyone can slip in and privately pray or just enjoy the silence. People have prayed on this site for centuries – it makes it that bit easier to pray here ourselves.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, at 9am, we gather on Zoom for ‘Praying Together’, a chance to relax, listen to God, experience prayer in a number of different ways, and bring our needs and requests before him. All are welcome, whatever their age or experience.
On Wednesday lunchtimes during Lent and Advent (the run-up to Easter and Christmas respectively) the church is often open for ‘Quiet Times’ – some gentle music interspersed with silence, and a visual focus to help you slow down and take time out with God.  Check out the church diary for more information.
If you would like us to pray for you, your family, friends, place of work or anything else that is on your mind then please use the form on this web page or pop in to All Saints or St. Andrews and chat to one of the team.

Prayer Resources

Romans 12 - Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

when love takes over 
Love > (is bigger than Fear) Love must be sincere.

activity Equipment: paper, pens, love-heart shapes or love-heart Post-it notes

Fear can feel HUGE and overwhelming. Most of the time, it stop us from living the abundant live that god has for us.
If you want to, you can write your fears about the coronavirus disease or anything else onto a piece of paper. But then, you can stick love-heart shapes on top of those fears, completely covering them, as a hope or a prayer to be set free from fear. 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.”

DARE TO DREAM
keep your spiritual fervour as we dare to dream Kingdom dreams for Bedworth and beyond. 

1) Take a moment of silence and wait on the lord;
2) allow Him to share with you the vision He has for our Chruch and our City;
3)write on a paper what you think god was sharing with you; (pictures, thoughts, impressions, etc)
4)pray about that vision with faith that god can do even what seems to be impossible;
5) share that vision with us by sending us an email rector@bedworthparish.org
