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 our week of prayer from 2nd – 8th June 2024 we are challenged to:
EXTRAORDINARY PRAYER
It’s really simple. We take the ordinary prayer (the way we pray ordinarily, in an ordinary week) and try adding something extra to it. Here are some extras that we encourage you to try during the week:
Pray for a whole hour (or more)
Use the prayer guides below to guide you through an hour with God
We also recommend instrmental worship music while you pray to help connect with God - try this worship instrumental
Prayer Room
Our prayer room is set up in the Walnut Suite in the Hub. It is available between
1.00 pm - 5pm Monday
9.00 am - 5.00 pm Tuesday - Friday or at other times if you have a church key.
It is equipped with lots of resources to help you pray.
We would love to have people praying for 1 hour slots, 24 hours each day for 7 days.
You can register for a slot here
Prayer Walking
As part of the Love Wycombe initiative and leading up to the big Love Wycombe celebration at the end of our prayer week on 9th June, Christians from churches across the town are prayer walking in their neighbourhoods.
You can use the app / webpage to plan your prayer walking route then mark it up when you have prayed along those streets. Register to get started here:
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.
​
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.
Join others to pray
During the week we have several online prayer meetings.
