An excellent and very meaningful service thank you so much.
Join us this Sunday 11am as we ordain 3 new Elders at the Brightons Ministry Centre, and as we complete our teaching series at both centres on the letters of Revelation. Youth Church is on for all groups, and prayer times at each location.
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.
