"More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of ..." [Alfred, Lord Tennyson]

"Prayer is none other than an expanding of our hearts in the presence of God." [John Calvin]

At Hope Church we have a number of members who have committed themselves to a ministry of intercession. The Prayer Chain is vital to the overall mission of our church. Prayer is not a magic formula whereby we get God's attention and force Him to do what we want. We believe that prayer is a two-way communication in which we can share things with God and wait for His response. But for many today, prayer is difficult because it demands so much from us: our attention, our time, sufficient inner quiet for awareness and insight to emerge.

Do you need prayer for your health, for your job situation, your family or any other need? If you would like to share your need with us via email we will promise to intercede on your behalf for one month. Anything you share will be kept in confidence within the Prayer Chain. If God answers prayer before the month is up, we would love to hear from you again so that we can rejoice and praise God together with you.
