Prayer is such a fundamental part of the Christian life. It is one of the simplest and yet most important expressions of the way we follow Jesus.

Prayer is, in part, our response to our knowledge of God. If we know that God is loving and cares for us, we will want to express that relationship in communicating with him. If we know that God is powerful, we will ask and
plead with him to do big and powerful things that we are unable to doourselves.

Prayer Week is an opportunity for us to renew our focus and dependence on God above all things. It is a time to lift our eyes, hearts and minds to God, his work and mission in the world, and where we find a place in this as his people. A chance to reset our habits, to engage in new practices, or recover old ones. Each year we set aside this week for us to focus on exactly this as a church family.
