Our Connexion churches and communities have begun meeting online for a monthly prayer evening, led by Sat Deodhar from the Countess Free Church, Ely.

A Connexion in Prayer: Coming Together in Faith

"I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:19-20

What a wonderful assurance we have of God’s presence when believers come together as a Connexion family. We have been making a firm, regular commitment to gather and spend an hour in dedicated prayer, meeting in a shared digital space via Microsoft Teams.

 

Our Vision and Objectives

• Fostering Unity: To become more aware of what God is doing across other Connexion churches and to be encouraged by His work within our wider church family.
• Providing Support: To identify, uplift, and stand with churches that may need extra encouragement and vital support in prayer.
• Meaningful Fellowship: To ensure our time together is intentional, keeping strictly to a one-hour format to make the evening both meaningful and accessible for all.

How We Gather

The journey thus far has been deeply encouraging. We consistently see more than 12 devices joining these prayer meetings. Sometimes this represents an individual, and other times it is an entire group of people joining together from a single device.

We meet monthly, usually on Tuesdays. For one of our Connexion churches, this gathering beautifully replaces their regular Bible study, allowing them to join in and pray alongside the wider Connexion family located across different parts of the country.

Our Prayer Focus

During our prayer evenings, we dedicate our time to several vital areas:

• Urgent Needs: Let us pray for any pressing or immediate requests that our members bring to the evening.
• The Connexion Family: Let us pray for the various churches within our network, asking for God's continual guidance, growth, and blessing.
• The Sierra Leone Mission: Let us pray for our ongoing mission work in Sierra Leone, which remains a constant and cherished part of our prayer life.

Join Us

Our next gatherings are scheduled for 5 May and 30 June at 8pm. We warmly invite you to join us on Microsoft Teams as we continue to support one another in faith and witness the power of praying together.
