At St. Giles there are opportunities for private and communal
prayer, whether it is lighting a candle or praying with others on
Sunday morning, we believe God hears our prayers and answers them as
may be best for us.
If there are particular issues that you would like prayed for then
please let us know. In particular we pray every Sunday for those who
are sick and for those who have passed away.
