Our monthly Benefice day of prayer and fasting is the first Tuesday of every month. There are many different ways that we can fast, and it doesn't necessarily have to be food. Perhaps staying off social media or not switching the TV on all day. Some of us will feel compelled to fast from food for the whole day, some may fast for just one meal, others may simply not have the biscuits with our afternoon cup of tea. Whichever way you fast, what's important is that you intentionally spend more time with God. That can be in prayer, reading scripture, or just being still in God's presence.

The monthly prayer meeting will be from 7.00 - 7.45pm and will be held in the chapel at St Michael's. We have a 'prayer booklet' with many things that we can pray for, however you are not limited to it. There is no obligation to pray out loud and no expectation that we will have well formulated sonnets of prayer. You can offer a prayer of just a few words, some of the most heartfelt prayers can be as simple as 'Father, I pray for tomorrow, amen.'
