5 A Call to Prayer 26 th November We will be opening the church on 26th November from 10am- 5pm for prayer. We ask members to commit to coming for an hour to pray for the work of Fisherwick, for the wider world and for individual needs. This will be a private journey and there will be information and guidance on what to pray for at various prayer stations around the church. This is not a prayer meeting in the traditional sense but the opportunity for individuals to come together for private guided prayer. You will not be expected to pray out loud. I would urge you to set aside an hour for prayer and private contemplation and you may find you stay for longer.
