Prayer and Study
Prayer Meeting
The Elvet Methodist Church Prayer Group has continued to meet each alternate Mondays at 2pm for an hour of discussion, prayer and meditation throughout the year. We have only a small number of members, considering the church membership, but we have the privilege of bringing before the Lord, not only the life and worship and witness of Elvet Methodist Church, but also the individual needs of those people who are ill, bereaved or passing through times of testing and trial, as well as being thankful for those blessings which our church and people have shared.
Looking ahead, we hope there will be some who, on reading this, will join us in this important part of the church’s life; it takes place on the second and fourth Monday of each month, from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. from September to July. You will be most welcome.
We are always open to requests for prayer on behalf of anyone who is ill, bereaved or facing difficulties; or a disability, or problem in their personal life. Please email us.
Shincliffe House Group
Shincliffe House Group is taking a break and further information about meetings will be posted here at a later date.
Halliday Grove House Group
Our Tuesday morning group meets fortnightly in the Langley Moor area, from 10.15am - 12 noon.
It consists of 11 women, though that is not deliberate!
The meetings begin with a short time of worship followed by a study of Acts, starting at chapter 15 in September. Members find, in studying Acts, much of relevance for today and enjoy discussions.
We greatly value the input of every individual member and the fellowship we share.
New members will be warmly welcomed. Contact us here.
Brancepeth Close House Group
We meet fortnightly, in one home in Newton Hall , on a Monday evening, commencing 7.45p.m. Our group consists of fourteen regular members. However, we often invite overseas students, who are attending our Church for the first time, to come and join us in our prayers and bible study if they wish.
Our studies cover a variety of passages, chapters and books from the Bible. Often our discussions are thorough, interesting, lively and entertaining. Each session begins with prayer and concludes with the Grace.
Usually we have a break from Housegroup during July/August, however not before planning our annual outing. This is often a day trip to a place of historic interest locally.
We value our friendship and support for each other and extend a warm welcome to those who wish to join us. Contact us here.
