Welcome to Christ Church Alsager
Prayer
We believe prayer is essential to our life as a church. Prayer is our communication with God. It involves listening, talking, and expressing ourselves to God in different ways. Any of us can pray at any time - whether on our own or with others.
As a church, we gather to pray as part of our Sunday & midweek services, as well as in our Growth Groups. We also meet weekly at 6pm on Sundays in the church building to pray together for an hour. We pray for one another, our church, our community and the world.
There are some great practical ideas on how to slow down and spend longer in God's presence. Lets taketime

24-hour Prayer
We have held 24 hours of unbroken prayer in September and March . During this time our church was turned into a creative and interactive prayer space for people to rest in the Holy Spirit, pray for our church, our community, our country and our world. We started and ended the session with an hour of worship. There were also dedicated times of led prayer on subjects such as: our church; our town; families; education and the persecuted church.

Reading the Bible
Reading the Bible regularly is an important way to grow in Christian faith, but it can seem a bit daunting.
It's good to do it together at our Sunday services and in Growth Groups, but it's also a good habit to get into on our own. You can start by just taking a few minutes each day. You’ll develop your own pattern, but here’s a suggestion:
1. Ask God to speak to you - and keep listening out for what he's saying.
2. Read a Bible passage (suggestions on finding a Bible in the guide below)
3. Read some notes on the passage (suggestions in the guide)
4. Pray – One simple pattern is Thank you, Sorry, Please.
Extra Tips:
Don’t beat yourself up with guilt if you miss a day - just pick up where you left off next time.
It’s better to do something than nothing, and a great way to get to know God better.
We have written a short guide to help you get going - or to try something new...

Extra Tips:
- Reduce interruptions by choosing a good time and place and turning off phone alerts.
- It can be helpful to jot down thoughts, ideas or what you think God is saying as a journal.
