Wednesday Prayers
A prayer meeting is held here at 12.30pm each Wednesday. Communion is celebrated on the first Wedneday of each month. Please come and join your prayers with the prayers of people all over the world.
Prayer Focus for week commencing 26th July 2010
We give thanks for all the quiet acts of service which are carried out in our Church from week to week - for those who welcome visitors and explain the history and life of the Church, for the coffee and tea-makers and washers-up, for the flowers ladies, and all the activities too numerous to mention but without which our Church life would be the poorer. We pray for all who are involved that they may have satisfaction and fulfilment in their service.

Queen's Aisle Prayer Chapel
 It has long been a tradition in the church to set a side a place to use for quiet prayer and meditation. The Queen’s Aisle is a quiet space where people may come to reflect and pray for peace for themselves, for their friends and family and for the world situation.
Equally, it has been a tradition in the church to look for symbolic means of expression when our words and even our emotions are exhausted. One of the most commonly used symbols is candles. Used like this candles, symbolise two things. First, they symbolise our prayers. Second, they are a symbol of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, the life and light of the world. So we leave candles lit on the communion table while the church is open. Feel free to take a light from our candles and light a candle of your own or, if you don’t want to light a candle, just use the space.
There is a box in the Queen’s Aisle in which to put your requests for prayer or use the link on the right-hand side panel.
