Early Bird Prayers

“Pray without ceasing. In everything gives thanks for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”  1 Thessalonians 5: 17-18.

Almost two years ago when we were looking for a church to join in Plymouth I had the fortune to sign up for a walk on Dartmoor with Peter Terrell. In our discussion I mentioned the importance of finding a church where prayer was important. Peter replied: “then you should join us on Friday morning for our Early Birds prayers.” I did, and have been part of this small group of praying people ever since. Each Friday at 8 a.m. we meet together on Zoom to pray, and the prayers are fervent and flowing. It is often hard to get a turn to pray. Our prayers are to support the staff, the church family and the work and mission of Emmanuel, but also they often take us around the world as concerns of the participants arise. The weekly Friday meeting and the monthly Wednesday prayer meetings are the power house of Emmanuel. I encourage  more of you to join us on Friday mornings for this important part of our mission together in Christ  Jesus.
