A range of regular and ad-hoc prayer groups and meetings are held in the parish and are
open to everybody. These include:

• 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.
  
• 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.
  
• Prayers for the World are offered on alternate Friday mornings in St James Church, Romanby at 10.30am (entry via the vestry). The service provides approximately one hour of open prayer using maps and candles.
  
• Prayer and Praise services are held approximately every second month at 7.30pm on Fridays at All Saints'; a lively but moving modern service, usually led by laypeople.
