At Union Baptist Church, we believe in the power of prayer. We aspire to be people who are prayerful, dependent on God for everything. We know that we see and experience God most when we are devoted to inconvenient, costly prayer. Prayer is at the heart of everything we do at Union Baptist Church but we need to grow in prayer, as individuals and as a church family.
During this special week we want to commit to spending more time connecting with God through prayer, exploring new and different ways to pray and growing in our prayer life.
During the week we encourage you to:
-
Set aside a time or times during the week to pray for a whole hour (During working hours you can book the Hazel room, which will be set up as a quiet prayer space for the week. Book online here )
-
Use the special prayer guide to guide you in prayer
-
Use the Prayer Labyrinth and interactive prayer space, which will be set up for the whole week in the chapel
-
Try fasting, journaling, or prayer walking (see the prayer guide for tips)
-
Join with others to pray at different times of the week….

Praying out loud
You may find it helpful to try voicing your prayers to God out loud, even if you are by yourself or prayer walking.
Worship Music
We also recommend instrmental worship music while you pray to help connect with God - try this worship instrumental
Fasting
Fasting can connect us more closely to God and give strength to our prayers. It involves the costly practice of giving up something – often food for a time. But we can fast from other things e.g. TV, social media etc.
Journaling
Try writing down your prayers and jot down what you sense God might be saying to you
