Prayer

Sometimes MCF has a time of 'open' prayer, when anyone can come and pray at the microphone.

Prayer is a way of talking to God. This could be thanking Him for who He is and what he has done, or asking God for things. Prayer is also being quiet and listening to what God has to say to you.

There are many ways that MCF uses prayer in a service. In this service, anyone who wished to was invited to go to the back of the church and pray into the microphone, so everyone could hear.

Sometimes a prayer is put on the screen at the front so that everyone can say it together. Here is a prayer that people say when they first become a Christian, or when they want to give their lives to God again.

This is the prayer people can say when they first become a Christian.

Sometimes people might want someone to pray with them at the end of the service.

This is the prayer corner. People at MCF know that there will always be someone there to pray with at the end of a service if they need it.

The prayer corner is made of four banners on a wooden frame. The banners have words from the Bible on them, which encourage people when they are going through a difficult time. The four banners say,

Be still and know that I am God.

Look to the Lord and His strength.

He forgives all your sins.

He restores my soul.

The prayer corner has verses from the Bible written on it.
