Prayer Line
St Columba's Prayer Line is made up of caring members who individually join together to pray on behalf of those who have requested prayer either for themselves or others. Requests are always treated confidentially and new "links" are always warmly welcomed.

St Columba’s Parish Church Prayer Group
In St. Columba’s we have an active, friendly and dynamic Prayer Group with a current membership of over twenty, including two “
foreign correspondents” – and you are welcome to join! All you need is discretion and a desire to support people in need in this way. Prayer requests come to the group by a variety of routes – for example, by personal request, e-mail, via the church web-site and arising from pastoral visits by our locum minister and elders. Prayer requests are not confined to members of the congregation as we are often asked to pray on behalf of people from the wider community, both national and world-wide. Members pray both individually in their own homes and collectively when the opportunity arises. Every week a newsletter and request list is circulated to each group member and a Prayer Service is held in the Mactaggart Chapel after the main service on the last Sunday of every month.Two or three times a year the Prayer Group have a sociable ”get –together” at which we eat a lot, business matters are discussed and updates on requests are shared. All requests are treated with the utmost confidentiality and anonymity is observed where required. |
The Prayer Group also gathers the requests from the Prayer Tree in the nave of the church and these are added to the weekly list and brought forward at the monthly service. We have found that many visitors to the church make use of the tree: Christians, people of other faiths and people of none, find this a way of making contact with things of the spirit.
