Prayer is such a key part of the life of a disciple of Jesus as it helps us to become more like Him, who prayed with others, for others and on his own. Prayer reminds us of God’s heart for His world and reveals the wisdom of God helping us to pray in His will. Prayer is therefore key for us as individuals and as a church family and is why we have prayer cells.

St Mungo’s prayer cells are a vital and integral part of our church life and supports and underpins everything we do as a church. Groups of 5 to 8 people meet weekly or fortnightly for an hour to pray for a wide range of subjects as well as St Mungo’s activities. The full list of subjects is on our website and includes our services, the leadership, evangelism, world news, the environment and the work in Wester Hailes. We also have prayer cells who pray for the needs of our members for physical and emotional healing, work challenges and family situations. If you would like a prayer cell to pray for a personal situation as a St Mungo’s member, please email in confidence to enquiries@stmungos.org and it will be passed on to the relevant group. This is limited to St Mungo’s members needs.

If you aren’t already part of a prayer cell and would like to join one, then please check out the list on the St Mungo’s website prayer cells. Then speak to the relevant leader, or email enquiries@stmungos.org. If you have a heart to set up a new prayer cell with a particular focus, then do talk to one of the senior leadership team in Balerno or Livingston.
