Praying Together at St Nicolas
Prayer is a vital part of Christian life and that is as true here at St Nicolas as anywhere. As it says in Ephesians chapter 6:18
"Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people."

Prayer Partners
You may also wish to pray regularly with someone (a prayer buddy) or in a small group (‘Prayer Triplet’)
Prayer triplets are small, voluntary groups of three (sometimes 2–4) individuals who meet regularly to pray for, support, encourage and challenge each other. They provide a confidential, low-pressure space for sharing, spiritual growth, and focused prayer for personal needs, the church, and the world. The concept is based on Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them”.
If you are interested in praying with others in this way please talk to a member of the Ministry Team.
Other Prayer Ministries
Prayer often engages us with the personal lives of others, particularly at a time of vulnerability. Such ministry is also seen as a personal calling from God endorsed by the gifting of the Holy Spirit. Therefore these ministeries are entered by invitation only, and after a period of discernment.
If you feel called to a ministry of prayer, we recommend that you begin by joining one of our regular prayer meetings, and discussing your sense of calling with the Rector.
These ministries are conducted either in private by joining our team of Prayer Warriors; or in person with those being prayed with or for by joining our Prayer Ministry team.
