St Stephen’s is called to be a House of Prayer (Matt 21:13) and we want to release more people to pray! If you have ideas or a hunger to prayer more with others, Tim would love to hear from you! tim@shottermillparish.org.uk
Join us at ‘Embers’ for our monthly worship & prayer night, when Groups are encouraged to pause & come together.
Join a Life Group to pray regularly with a small group.
If you serve on team, please join our Monday morning gatherings from 9am – 10am.
Prayer Quilts
Eight years ago, 3 ladies dipped into their fabric stashes to make a prayer quilt together for a very special friend who was battling aggressive breast cancer. The end result had love and prayers in every stitch and we realised that we could use our God-given sewing talents to bring comfort and prayers to others. Since then St Stephens’ Prayer Quilt Ministry has made many cosy quilts, incorporating fabric recycled from cotton shirts, dresses, pyjamas and bed linen, for recipients all over the world, with personalised labels and prayers ‘tied’ by the St Stephens congregation into every one. If you know someone struggling with a life-changing event who would appreciate a prayer quilt, please speak to Donna or Jill to find out more. Alternatively please contact the church office. Donations of cotton fabric and money for supplies most welcome and we have some photographs from this ministry here and Jill talks about this ministry here.
Prayer Chain
At St. Stephen’s we operate a ‘prayer chain’. This means that if somebody needs urgent prayer, a member of the chain can be informed, who will then pass the request on to the next person in the chain, and so on. This is a most effective way of getting as many people involved in the prayer focus as quickly as possible.
If you have a situation that requires prayer, please contact the church office office@shottermillparish.org.uk or call 01428 642609.
