Prayer
Prayer is key to our relationship with God our Father. Prayer is simply talking to your best mate about things that are concerning you, issues that you want changing in your life and also listening to what God would want to say to you.
Prayer - Intercession Team
We have a team of people lead by Vicky Ward who get together
monthly and pray, these times are spent either praying inside, prayer
walking and occassionally with teaching for the well being of the
Church. They pray for the members and leaders.
Sheffield Prayer Centre
Sheffield Prayer Centre is a movement of prayer for Sheffield and beyond. It has been born out of a passion to pray for further revealing and transformation of the Kingdom of God in the city. This prayer is hungry and incarnational: we don’t just want to pray “your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”, we also want to be co-workers with God through the Holy Spirit in bringing this about.
The
movement is
twofold. Firstly it looks like people from all churches and backgrounds
gathering to pray, 24/7. Sheffield Prayer Centre is located in the city
centre
with a room similar to a House of Prayer or a 24/7 Boiler Room. It is
important
to emphasise that the prayer centre is not a church, but rather a place
of
prayer for people from all churches.
They are based in the city centre partly because they wish to incorporate with the many groups that are praying for the city in locations all around it, creating a covering over the city. Also, their hope is that as people encounter Jesus and are filled with the values of the Kingdom of God through the Spirit (as the disciples were filled with the values of the Kingdom through the teaching and demonstration of Jesus in person), and as these values conflict with situations all around in the city centre, there will be a birthing of mission in the city and a groundswell of new life in existing mission (whether projects, or individuals on missions of love).
Secondly, it looks like resourcing groups and churches that wish to run prayer rooms and days. They are available to help facilitate any prayer events anywhere in Sheffield, where there is a need for support. They can help in terms of making it known, providing materials and people, and supporting wherever necessary. They are keen to serve the church in Sheffield in every way they can.
