St. Mary’s Intercessory Prayer Group
Thursday between 7:30pm - 8:45pm in St. Mary's Church, Chepstow.
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. (Luke 18: 1-3)
Join us every Thursday for an evening of intercessory prayer, scripture and meditation with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. We can make a difference!
“When the Church abandons itself to prayer, the presence of God is perceived. Suddenly we know He is there, working, moving, answering.” (R. Dunn)
You will find our prayer request and prayers answered books at the back of the church. We would like to build a team of intercessors. If you would like to join us then please do come along.
Tea and coffee 7.15pm
