THE POWER OF PRAYER –
BRINGING 2020 VISION TO
LIFE
PRAYER LABYRINTHS
Over the Power of Prayer Conferences
many people enjoyed walking the Prayer
Labyrinth and using the finger
labyrinths. We have attached some of
the finger labyrinth templates for you to
print out. They will hopefully print front
to back! We have also added a brief
explanation and some suggestions on
how to pray the finger labyrinth.
Please also note that the big prayer
labyrinth which you may have walked at
the conference is available to borrow
from the diocese free of charge. Please
contact timfeak@churchinwales.org.uk
should you want to use it.
Our friends in Llanfyllin have been busy
over Easter and have sent this message to
the Power of Prayer network:
We had a wonderful Easter Club at St
Myllin's Llanfyllin - this was the beginning
of our Messy Church venture and it has
given us heart to carry on. On the
Wednesday there were four children and
plenty of helpers, whilst on the Thursday
we had 14 children in all (plus a good
number of helpers) - fortunately they were
all of an age and so keeping them happy
was great. They played in the vestry,
decorating Easter biscuits, writing their
names on badges, and weaving (a very
popular item), and outside they were told
lovely stories by our Reader Glyn under the
weeping willow. They also searched for
cardboard Easter eggs - one of five colours
to be collected for a prize (also very
popular as you can imagine). The mothers
and one father got into the spirit and
participated in many of the games. In all,
with lovely weather, it was successful for a
church that to date has one regular young
attender at church. We hope to include
others from our two other churches and
perhaps further afield in the coming
Mission Area.
We have also begun a Crafter Knitters
group, held in the Cain Hotel, where people
can bring along their craft and sit, have tea
and plenty of chat. The subjects on offer
did cover Church, so again this venture will
continue and hope grow and reach out in
conversation and perhaps projects for
charities!
If you have any prayer resources that you
would like us to add to the website so that
they can be shared across the Teulu Asaph,
please send them to our new email address
powerofprayer@churchinwales.org.uk and
we will do the rest!
