Prayer
Without prayer nothing happens! God has called us all to spend time with Him in prayer. That personal time between us and God is the most important time in our lives. It is in that time that we grow and learn, and ask and receive.
Praying alone however is only the start! In the Bible the early Christians prayed together regularly and because of this grew into a spiritual community with Christ at the centre. Miracles also occured and many people became Christians.
As a community of Christians we at BCLC believe in praying together, and there are three opportunities open to all to pray together that happen at 17 Upland Road:
- Join us Sunday from 10-10.15am, in the main hall as we pray for the Sunday service and ask God to prepare our hearts to meet with Him.
- Join us Monday at 10am for Monday morning prayer. Start your week with prayer with an intercessional edge.
- Join us once a month on Friday, for our day of Prayer and Fasting and then at 7.30pm to pray and worship together - we believe God calls us to pray and fast (which may be giving up food, or may be giving up something else - from coffee to facebook!) and we practice this as a Church once a month. This usually occurs on the 1st Friday of the month.
We also have a prayer team - if you have a specific prayer need, please contact us and we will pass it on to them.
In addition to these meetings, we believe that all the ministries in the Church should be "covered" by prayer - the bible tells us that there is a battle in the heavenlies and the only way we will win it is through prayer. If you can commit to praying for one or more of the ministries that takes place in the Church, please do contact us. Prayer is also an integral and essential part of our Life Groups.
Please check our church calendar to see what meetings are happening this week, contact us or visit our facebook page for the most up-to-date information.
