The Power of the Bended Knee

We're focussing on Prayer at the beginning of this new year, in particular praying for our favourite city, Brighton. Someone once said that prayer is "the slender nerve that moves the muscles of omnipotence". So alongside the new Alpha course, the Teams, Helping People and Sunday services, we want to realise "the power of the bended knee" this term. And on Sunday we did that quite literally, putting the old church kneelers to good use: we spread them out across the steps up to the altar, and invited any or all to come forward during the singing at the end of the service to kneel and spend a few moments in quiet prayer for the city.
