A range of regular and ad-hoc prayer groups and meetings is held in the parish and
these are open to everybody
These include:
The Prayer Chain: A group of intercessors offering prayer in times of emergency or
stress. Prayers are said for one week, or longer if requested. Full confidentiality
is maintained with details confined to the chain group.
Other intercessors pray for those with chronic or longer term problems on an ongoing
prayer list for as long as needed.
Private prayer and laying-on of hands is offered each first Wednesday evening within
a special worship service at 7.30pm. The service alternates between All Saints and
St James churches. For healing of self, others, the world or relationships, bringing
God into the heart of the problem. Details of the venue will usually be found on
our events page. Healing prayer is also available after the 10.45am service at All
Saints on the 3rd Sunday of each month.
Prayer Oasis: A quiet, meditative hour listening to God and taking time out of our
busy lives to concentrate totally on Him; it is based on the teachings of Julian
of Norwich. This is held at 7.30pm on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at a member’s
home and people from other churches are very welcome to attend.
Prayers for the World are offered on alternate Friday mornings in St James Church,
Romanby at 10.30am. The service provides approximately one hour of open prayer using
maps and candles.
Prayer and Praise services are held from time to time at All Saints'. A lively but
moving modern service, usually led by lay people.
