Legacurry Prayer Chain Guidelines and Information.
As a community of believers, we hold that every aspect of our church life and witness should be
underpinned by prayer.
What does signing up to the Prayer Chain mean?
Your name will be added to a WhatsApp group “Legacurry Prayer Chain”. As and when prayer requests
are received, they will be posted to the group for prayer.
As part of the Prayer Chain, you are committing to bringing before God, not just the concerns and sorrow
of those within our congregation and beyond, but you will also experience the joy of giving praise to the
Lord for answered prayer.
Are there any rules?
Only one, the Prayer Chain is completely confidential. We value the privilege of praying during the
toughest moments in people’s lives and respect their privacy by not approaching them, sharing or
discussing their requests.
Who should I send a prayer request to?
Doris Dickison currently co-ordinates the Prayer Chain. Requests can be sent to her on 07761 013 533,
email: doris.dickison@legacurry.church
Jacqueline Pickering supports Doris in this role. When Doris is on holiday / taking a break the Prayer
Chain will be notified and prayer requests should be forwarded to Jacqueline on 07747 014 708, email:
jacqueline@legacurry.church.
Who can submit a prayer request to the Prayer Chain?
Anyone can send a prayer request. We would emphasise, if the prayer request is not for yourself, consent
must be obtained before submitting information to the Prayer Chain.
What details should I include in a prayer request?
Names are usually shared, with agreement, but anonymity is also fine. Describe briefly what you are
requesting prayer for, be succinct and if you’re describing complicated medical conditions/diagnosis use
language that everyone can understand. If there are any developments in the person’s condition /
situation please keep the Prayer Chain updated.
If I sign up, will I be on the Prayer Chain forever?
People can and should take a break from the Prayer Chain. If you are currently part of the Prayer Chain,
but have found you no longer have the time, or spiritual capacity, to bring the requests before the Lord, a
temporary or permanent removal is advisable. Just contact Doris or Jacqueline and you can be removed
entirely or for as long a period as you wish. If/when you are ready to return just let them know and your
name will be included again.
Will I have to attend any additional meetings relating to the Prayer chain?
No, you are simply committing to pray privately.
I would like to join Legacurry Prayer Chain, what do I do now?
Simply contact Doris or Jacqueline and they will add you to the WhatsApp group.
I’m not sure the Prayer Chain is for me, are there any other ways I could prayerfully support the
church?
Corporate prayer –
· Alternate Thursday evenings in the Minor Hall – dates and times are in our monthly newsletter and on
our website
· We also meet every Sunday morning from 10.15- 10.45 in the Prayer Room for another time of corporate
prayer.
Prayer Triplets – these are more organic in nature and you should feel free to form your own triplet if you
have others who would be willing to join you -times, venues etc are at your own discretion. If however
you are finding it difficult to form a triplet, contact either Doris or Jacqueline and they may be able to help
you by linking you up with others they know who are wanting to form a prayer triplet.
Prayer Ministry – this team meets every Sunday after church to pray for those who wish to come into a
quiet confidential space to share their concerns and have two members of the team pray for them. If you
wish to be involved in this Ministry speak to Jacqueline for more details.
Philippians Chapter 4 v 6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
