I grow in a desire to pray more ."  
Lorna Curry   ]]>Fri, 13 Jun 2014 12:00:45 GMThttps://www.firstmagherafelt.com/i-love-prayer-meetings/reason7We enjoy meeting for prayer as it gives us an opportunity to share and pray for the needs of ourselves and others and we find it easier to pray in a small group.  We especially enjoy prayer triplets.   "Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing but let us encourage one another".  Hebrews 10:25

1. to encourage others (1 Thess 5:11, Romans 15:5-6)
2. because prayer is powerful (James 5:16)
3. because prayer is even more powerful when we pray together. (James 5:14-15)"
