One of the most important things we can do at a time like this is pray, whether individually or as a group. On this page we offer some resources to do both.
We know this is a difficult time for everyone, so if you need to talk to someone or receive prayer, please don't hesitate to contact our ministers, James & Julia, on 01395 443137 or enquiries@budleighbaptistchurch.org.uk.
There are a number of ways of praying or asking for prayer...
Tuesday Prayers
Each Tuesday morning at 9.30am we hold a more interactive prayer meeting via Zoom.
This includes spoken liturgy, Bible reading a and time of open prayer
All are welcome to join in - please get in touch for the details.
Evening Prayers
During lockdown we are holding short time of prayer and reflection each Thursday.
Each week we'll be pausing and using some of Jesus 'I am...' sayings to guide our prayers.
These will be streamed live at 7pm each week on our Facebook and Youtube channels, and the videos will also be available afterwards.
To see the videos from previous weeks, click here.
Prayer & Mindfulness
In an increasingly chaotic and busy world, it can feel difficult to find time to stop, pause and reflect. At the same time, more and more people are feeling stressed, anxious and over-loaded.
The Christian tradition has a wealth of resources and practices which have helped people navigate through life. Click here to read an introduction to some of these and some basic starters to get you praying.
Prayer Chain
Our prayer chain is a phone based way of passing on prayer requests quickly and anonymously.
If you'd like to add a request to the chain, please phone our ministers on 01395 443137.
