The Lord’s Prayer Garden is always open for prayer. Walk among the prayer stones praying the Lord’s Prayer. Below is a copy of the prayer guide you can use at home. Prayer Guide brochures are available in the church office.

In the context of this prayer are the 5 major themes that have been restored to vitality in the church in our time: Praise & worship, kingdom authority; prosperity; relationships; and spiritual authority
