Prayer is simply the way we relate to God—speaking honestly with Him and making space to hear His voice. Whether it’s spoken or silent, on your own or with others, prayer helps us grow closer to Jesus.

In a world that encourages independence, we’re choosing to build lives that rely on Jesus; to lean into the God who sustains us, one day at a time.

We are keen to resource every person at St Gregory’s to go deeper in prayer. Here is what you’re find below:

  • Ways you can explore your own personal life of prayer

  • Opportunities for you to join others in pray

  • Resources for you to read, watch or listen to

  • Place for your to share prayer requests

Personal

In Jewish and early Christian tradition their days were structured around pausing to pray - morning, midday, and evening. We see this in the life of Jesus and with the apostles in the early church and we want to recover this historic practice.

We suggest praying in solitude in the morning and/or evening, following Jesus’ example (Mark 1:35). Here are some ideas for how you could structure it.

MORNING – Use the acronym PRAY

Praise God for who He is

Repent and receive His mercy

Ask for His kingdom to come

Yield your day to Him

MIDDAY – You might like to pray the Lord’s prayer or find time for 5-10mins silence on your lunch break

EVENING – In the evening we invite you to do a practice called the Examen, you can learn how to do it here. The Examen encourages you take 5-10 mins to:

Replay the day

Rejoice in what was good

Repent where needed

Reset for tomorrow

Communal

  • Rhythms is a tool for 3 or 4 people to meet regularly and contend for the kinds of patterns in each other’s lives that will help one another be with Jesus, become like him and do the things he did.

    They are designed to be groups that are safe enough to heal but dangerous enough to grow and are therefore vehicles for bringing about genuine transformation in each other’s lives.

    You can find out more about Rhythms Groups here.

    Each time you meet you will be prayerfully and practically contending for breakthrough for each other. This is about giving space for each person to share and being prayed for.

  • We currently have prayer hub is for those who simply have a heart to gather and contend in prayer for the things that move our hearts for Cornwall and beyond.

    Meets every Thursday morning at 7am at St Columb Minor hall.

    You can sign up here.

    If you want to start a prayer Hub please let us know.

  • We want prayer and worship to fuel everything that we do at St Gregory’s, to keep Jesus front and centre and to seek His voice. So we meet the first Thursday of the month for extended worship and to pray at Seek First.

    7pm for a cuppa, 7.15pm start | First Thursday of each month | St Columb Minor Church Hall,TR7 3EY
