Prayer

Welcome to Prayer at Bellevue Chapel

As a community of people seeking to live as disciples of Jesus, we have witnessed the power of prayer and aim to build it into the rhythm of our lives. We place a high priority on following His teaching and the Bible's instruction to pray "on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests" (Ephesians 6:18).   Prayer is an important part of all our gatherings but we also have regular times focused on prayer.

Prayer Times

We meet at the start of every month to ‘pause and pray’ from 8-8.30am on the first Monday of every month. These times take place on Zoom for the details see here.

We also meet fortnightly on Tuesday evenings from 7.45-8.45pm (with Home Groups on the alternate weeks). At the moment, these meetings also take place on Zoom – for the details see here.

At all these sessions we pray for each other, our community and the world.  You are warmly invited to join us.

Prayer Resources

To help us build prayer in to our daily and weekly routines, we have put together a few resources below (click on the images?). Also, if you would like to us to pray for or with you, please do email us at prayer@bellevuechapel.org and one of the prayer team will be in touch.
