Prayer

2009-10-prayer

Prayer is central to all we do at Christ Church. We believe it releases the power of God to help us live our lives, at home, at work and in our city. There are regular prayer meetings to pray for Christ Church and our various ministries and courses. There are also prayer meetings that focus on praying for Cape Town and the nation. We run men’s and women’s weekends at Vomoed near Hermanus four times a year. See courses.

We offer opportunities for personal prayer ministry, spiritual accompaniment and spiritual direction. There are also retreats, quiet days and special prayer events. We have a prayer room at Christ Church Centre which is set aside for individual prayer and prayer meetings.

We also have an emergency Prayer Chain that will mobilise a team of people to pray in a particular moment of crisis. Contact us and speak to Alison if you have a prayer need or want to find out more.

Prayer Requests

When we need help we can call on God through prayer. We offer two ways for you to get others involved in lifting your prayer requests and praises to the Lord.

Ask for prayer on Sunday

We’d love to pray with you, in person. At the end of every service there are prayer ministers available who would love to spend a few moments praying for you for any need you want to bring to God, or join you in giving a special prayer of thanks for answered prayer.
