News and Updates
Sunday Evening Prayer Meetings
Twice a month church members and friends join together as a church to Pray - This takes place on the first Sunday evening of the month together in person at WBC and a fortnight later on Zoom. Contact the Webmaster for the Zoom code.
Both meetings start at 6.15 pm. The last Prayer meeting for December was on the 1st of the month as the Zoom Prayer Meeting clashes with the Carol Service. January 2025 dates for prayer meetings will be confirmed but currently look like being on the 5th for the 'in person' meeting and 19th January on Zoom.
An Advent Prayer From Rev’d Lynn Green General Sec. of the Baptist Union.
Loving God, we wait in eager anticipation to celebrate the birth of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Thank you that in Jesus you stepped into our world to show that you truly are Emmanuel, God with us.
Thank you that in Jesus we can see clearly what you are like and the new life that you want to give us.
We praise you for all the Kingdom life and growth across Baptists Together in this past
year and we boldly pray for more, Lord!
Our prayer is that many more would come to know you as Lord and Saviour, experiencing the abundant life you offer and beginning the journey of discipleship.
Lord, shine your light through us this Advent and Christmas and help us to share Jesus wherever we are. And as we worship you, may we also be restless for your Kingdom to come in all its fullness and play our part as agents of your love, light and justice.
In the precious and glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen
