Join us Sunday evening 6.30pm at our Brightons Ministry Centre for the 2nd part in our evening teaching series on "Faith in Civic Society and the Workplace." There will be prayer stations, Communion and refreshments afterwards. A warm welcome to all!
Join us this Sunday 11am at both ministry centres as we reach a high point in our teaching series through the letter of Galatians! Youth Church is on for all age groups at the Brightons Ministry centre and our prayer times are on as normal. We look forward to welcoming you to worship!
Join us as we gather for live prayer online! Watch via our YouTube channel and Facebook page as members of our congregation take your prayer requests and pray for them live. Let us know ideas for prayer requests in the Live Chat.
Another option is to join our "Upper Braes Church Prayer" Zoom Room, where you can say a prayer out loud and others on the YouTube live stream will also hear it!
Please contact us via the church email address or Facebook page to get the login details for the Zoom prayer room.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR JOINING THE ZOOM ROOM:
(1) Should you be watching on YouTube whilst you call the Zoom Room, please MUTE YouTube as otherwise we might get feedback and/or you might get distracted by the time delay or by your voice.
(2) Please do SPEAK UP when you pray, so that you are clearly heard by everyone else.
(3) Please make sure your mobile is not on "speaker phone" setting for the Zoom call, as it might also generate feedback.
(4) Once you are finished your prayer, you can end your call or stay on the line to hear the other prayers and/or pray again.

Good evening and welcome to Thursday Live Prayer
Amen
Thank you, Scott, for such encouraging news. 👍👍👍
Friends of Jesus will have (had) a difficult evening, as they think of one of the group who has passed away suddenly. Not easy for leaders to find the right way to comfort those who will be upset.
Welcome Ricky and Lorna
Thanks for joining with us tonight, everyone! God bless
Amen
Amen 🙏
Thank you, Marion.
