Women's House of Prayer
“Where there is no guidance the people fall, but in abundance of counsellors there is victory.”
​
Proverbs 11.14
Women's House of Prayer are a group of women from different denominations and backgrounds who meet fortnightly on Wednesday evenings from 7.30–9.30pm via a WhatsApp group call.
We explore the lives of women in the Bible, reflecting on their experiences in a modern context and learning from the challenges they faced, while praying for guidance in our own lives. The group provides a safe space to support, pray and discuss issues that may be difficult to share elsewhere, and has been a blessing to those who attend.
We have one simple rule: whatever is shared within the group remains confidential. This creates a safe and trusted space where all feel respected and supported.
This programme has proved to be very successful and we have bonded together, with a deeper knowledge of the women of the bible, our focused prayer life, our relationships as friends, being Sisters in Christ and taking on being full pastoral carers for each other. We have found that there have been many challenges (good and bad) for our ladies. Prayer and support have been the main focus in coping with these issues. This, in turn, has led to major improvements with our prayers on a daily basis, so we can encourage each one to be more helpful and supportive to each other, the church fellowship and the wider community.
The Lord has blessed us with many answers to prayers. We have seen changes and growth personally, in our families, friends and other quite difficult situations, where we confidently confirm that the Lord’s hand, the power of prayer and His spirit, has played a major part in our lives.
Our aim is to follow Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. We start this year by thanking God for his Grace, Mercy, Love, Care, Protection and Presence at our meetings and hope to continue to Glorify and Praise Him, while caring and supporting each other.
We hope you will come and join us and feel the love and warmth of our group. Should you wish for more information, then please contact us using the contact us page or via our Church office: admin@avenuebaptist.com.
