We have started a monthly Prayer Diary. It has a prayer intention for every day of the month - and each month the focus changes.
If you want to print it out, the November edition can be found here.
The St John’s Parish Prayer 2025
You may wish to use this prayer daily as part of your rhythm of prayer.
Stir up, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people here at St John’s. As we seek to do your will, gives us ears to hear, eyes to see, wills to obey and hearts to love. Amen.
Corporate Daily Prayer at St John’s
We pray every day at 9.30am Monday to Friday for the life of the Parish. Everyone is welcome to join us.
Can we pray for you?
If you would like someone to pray for you, whatever it might be this can be done either as part of our worship or privately by our St Luke’s Prayer Cell. Do contact our Parish Administrator to be added to one of our prayer lists:
