Prayer Meetings

Our church has been really challenged by the importance of prayer and by a deep desire for revival. In recent years, we have often asked the Lord what the psalmist asked in Psalm 85:6: “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?”

Bath Road Baptist Church has three weekly prayer meetings:

Wednesdays @ 12 noon to 1 PM

This is our “No coffee, no cookies, no study prayer meeting”. In other words we just get together for prayer. Some slip in late and some slip out early… because lunch hour is only so long. We finish right at 1 PM so that even those who stay for the whole prayer time can plan the rest of their day.

Wednesdays @ 7 PM

This prayer meeting runs at the same time as our child and youth programs and there is always someone to look after the nursery. Usually there is a brief message and then we devote the rest of the time to prayer.

Sundays @ 6:30 PM

This prayer meeting usually has a 25-30 minute preached message and then the rest of the time is spent in prayer.

Some thoughts on prayer…

Trouble and perplexity drive me to prayer and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble. ~Philip Melanchthen

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties. ~Oswald Chambers

When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart. ~John Bunyan

Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue. ~Adam Clarke

Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need. ~E.M. Bounds
