Several times each week each member of St Michael's prayer chain sets aside time to pray for the growth of our church in Ashton and also for people and situations in our community and the wider world which we want to bring before God. People pray at times and in places which are convenient to themselves. New prayer subjects are released each week, usually on Wednesday. To join the prayer chain contact the vicar, David Roscoe - d.roscoe@sky.comTo request or suggest prayers contact the vicar, preferably by email.
