Grandparents and Parents prayers - A seven-year-old group that meets on the 3rd Friday of the month in a member’s home.
10.15-noon.

Twenty or so men and women get together to pray for family and friends. First names are put into the bowl, and each person is prayed for. We are led by the Holy Spirit and follow 65 Promises from God for Your Child - a book by Mike Shreve.
GAPP is a fantastic group with people from different local areas and different Christian churches all of whom have been brought together by the Holy Spirit. It is wonderful to see how the Lord is moving among us and among those for whom we pray.
We have a few spare chairs for any newcomers who would like a cup of coffee, friendship and a special prayer time for their prodigals!
