St James' Church

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
- Matthew 16:24

Last year, many signed up for the two week-long continuous prayer weeks and were blessed with intimate, powerful encounters with God. Thank you for taking that leap of faith with us!

This Holy Week (16 – 23 March 2008), we're bringing 24/7 Prayer Week back, with the encouragement for you to set aside an hour in the dedicated room to pray alone or together with someone (your family, cell, friends, etc.).

This week’s theme will be DISCIPLESHIP. We aim to pray as one for our church to be a community of growing disciples and where the ministry of discipling others is our central ministry focus. Let us begin to pray about really pressing in for deeper truths and what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. As we prepare to rebuild St James' Church, let's not neglect rebuilding our spiritual lives, but strive to nurture authentic relationships God and each other.

“If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult. The Christian life is gloriously difficult, but the difficulty of it does not make us faint and cave in, it rouses us up to overcome.”
- Oswald Chambers

There will be a short dedication/ worship service to kick off 24/7 Prayer week on Sunday 16 March, 5.30 - 6pm, in the Basement Chapel. All are welcome, so do save the date as we come together as obedient disciples to celebrate and support the event.
