Then come and join our Pause for Prayer group who explore these and other questions on prayer on an ongoing basis. We meet twice a month on a Thursday morning. Look at the Whats On page for further details.
We meet in our little St Andrew's chapel. The chapel has an informal and intimate atmosphere that enhances group discussion and silent prayer. Just drop in and join us.

“It is a welcoming peaceful place where instructions for good living are given from the Bible.”
"I feel I have most benefited from 'Pause for Prayer' because it is special and gives opportunity to thank God for all he has done for me and allows me to pray for the needs of others."
We regard prayer as the ‘Power House’ for all the activities of our church.
One specific time for our group prayer is our Pause for Prayer which is held twice a month on the first and fourth Thursday morning of each month at 10.00 a.m. We meet in our St. Andrew’s Chapel for a time when we can do just that - pause for prayer.
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."
In our busy and sometimes hectic lives it is good to have a time and space for prayer. We use this prayer time to put things back into perspective, refresh our connection to God and strengthen our faith.
Lord Jesus gave us a clear and simple commandment that we should love one another as he loves us. So, we take Pause for Prayer, as an opportunity to pray together for those people in our community we know need God’s help. This doesn’t just mean those people known to us such as friends and relatives. We also pray for the wider community across the world. In this way, we try to follow Christ’s example of boundless compassion and pray for all those communities we know that need God’s help.
At the same time we use Pause for Prayer to collectively pray for the work of our church and our fellowship individually.
Our Minister Martin Ambler or other members of the church lead the prayers during Pause for Prayer.
Everyone is welcome to join us in this oasis of peace and tranquillity right at the heart of the town. Check for details on the "What's on" page

"If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him".
"You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." James Chapter 4 verses 2 - 4
"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" James Chapter 5 verses 15 - 16
