→ Cottage Prayer Meetings has been playing a vital role in uniting the believers of our Church and bringing more closeness among them. Cottage Prayer Meetings, also called as House Visit is a time of get-together with other believers of the Church where we could spend time knowing about them to have a good relationship further.
→ Our church visits believers’ house twice in a week in the evenings of Monday and Friday. Generally, the cottage prayer meeting starts at 07.00pm. We spend time with God in prayer along with the family we visit, so that that the Lord shall bless the family and fulfill their needs in their life and answers their prayer requests. This is also the time for the family members to share their Testimonies to the members of the Church.
→ Many a times,Thanks Giving and Birthday Celebrations turned out to be Cottage Prayer Meetings. This is an opportunity for Church Believers to understand each other and to create healthy fellowship with one another. At present, Cottage Prayer meetings are conducted by the Pastor and elders of our congregation at the believer’s residences upon their request.
→ The date and time are decided by the members themselves. The pattern of worship is to bless the family members by the Congregation. Many have been blessed and witnessed.
→ We request all the believers to avail this opportunity and try to organize a prayer meeting at your residences once in a year at least and be blessed. If your residence is not comfortable to accommodate the visitors, you may choose a place where you feel comfortable enough to have the meeting.
