Our prayer rhythm
As part of our faith journey, we encourage everyone to take part in the following prayer rhythm:
Pray Alone everyday.
Pray with others once a week.
Fast for breakthrough once a month.
Prayer Dates - 2025
Each month we gather as larger groups to pray. See below for the dates and times of prayer and worship gatherings are happening in your location.
Occasionally through the year we pray as a whole church together through weeks of prayer and fasting. Other times we hold Vision Nights to hear the latest news and pray for the upcoming season as a church. Dates for 2025 for these are listed below:

Pray alone everyday
Based on Jesus’ outline of how to pray in the gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, we are encouraged to use the P.R.A.Y. model. You can find out more about P.R.A.Y. on the website of the people who created it - Pete Greig and the 24/7 Prayer team.
One good way to start is to download the Lectio365 App to your smart phone and listen to or read the daily devotionals throughout the week.
Pray with others once a week
We prioritise praying together as we meet on Sundays and midweek in Small Group communities. We look to create opportunities for you to receive prayer if needed, and for us to pray for one another.
Join in on Simon Benham’s Prayercast every weekday morning via the Facebook page and pray with others online.
We also hold an online weekly Finance prayer meeting each Monday at , hosted by the elders of the church. You’re welcome to join us, just email info@kerith.church and you can receive the zoom link to access the gathering.
Fast for breakthrough once a month
