Prayer isn't just for for Sundays or when we have a prayer meeting, but should permeate everything we do here at Nant Coch. We meet together twice a week to pray, once online and once in person. But we also encourage every person to pray individually at home each day. It is good to set aside a set time each day when we can pray to our heavenly Father.
Every Saturday morning at 9am we meet online for prayer. If you would like to join us please contact the elders for log in information.

If you would like someone to pray with you, please email Frank have a prayer request, please send it to us via our contact page, email Frank at
pastor@nantcoch.org.uk or come along and speak to someone on a Sunday morning. We would love to pray for you!
If you have a prayer request and would like others in the church to pray for you, we have a prayer chain which is run by Jan Harris. You can either phone her on 01633 668903 or send an email to
prayer@nantcoch.org.uk. Prayer requests are then emailed to around 40 people who belong to the church and who will pray for you.
We currently have two major foci for prayer in the church. The first is for Holiday Club which takes place in the last full week of August and the second is for church growth. Each person who belongs to Nant Coch is encouraged to pray each day for these two important priorities. You may use your own words to pray but for those who find it difficult to pray or are more comfortable saying a set prayer, below are two suggested prayers.
Prayer for Holiday Club
Dear Lord,
We pray for our Holiday Club which is to take place at the end of August.
We pray that you would bless our endeavours to reach young children and to share with them the good news of Jesus Christ and His love for each of us.
We pray for the planning and preparations beforehand, that you would inspire the leaders of Holiday Club and guide them as they plan the various activities and especially the message they are to give each day. We pray, too, that we will have sufficient leaders to run the Holiday Club safely and well and that everyone in the church will play a part, whether through prayer or active help before, during and after the week.
We pray that you would send many children to the Holiday Club, that they would enjoy attending and that many would discover You for the first time.
We pray for the parents and carers of the children who come, and that our endeavours may encourage many of them to join us in church each Sunday to praise and worship You.
We ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for our church
Dear Lord,
We pray for our church and its future.
We believe you have placed our church in a strategic part of Newport and that You want us to continue the work that You started more than 80 years ago.
We thank You for the faithful work of our forebears in establishing our church and for seeing how it flourished in the past. We ask for Your forgiveness for our failure to further Your work within our community.
We beseech You to bless our current endeavours to take Your word into the community and that we would see many families wanting to join us in the near future to praise and worship You.
We thank You for the faithful work of those who lead our various activities, but acknowledge that our physical limitations no longer enable us to do what we once did. We pray that You would raise up new leaders for our church to take up leadership reins and to enable Your church to flourish once again.
We ask these things in Jesus' name.
Amen
