Prayer
"When a believing person prays, great things happen." (James 5:16)
Prayer makes a difference!
When we pray we connect with the God who listens to us, loves us and is with us in our situations. Praying for each other is one of the ways that helps us pull together, support each other and become a real community. We also pray for things going on further away from HCC; local, global, anything and everything where God's power is needed.
Whatever's troubling you – for you or for someone else – it matters to God and it matters to us. Nothing is too unimportant.
Here's how you can put in a prayer request:
The HCC prayer chain is our way of quickly getting the whole church to pray about something, so if you've got something urgent, this is the best way to go. When you put a request onto the prayer chain, it's sent out by email to members of the church for them to pray as soon as they get it.

If you're a church member and you'd like to receive the prayer chain emails, join the "Prayer Chain" group in your account.
Prayer cards
If you're around HCC you can fill out a prayer card and drop it in the red box on the wall in the foyer. These are collected on Sunday mornings; some are prayed for in the service and afterwards all of them are put onto the prayer chain.
Here's how you can get prayed for in person:
Sundays
There's a prayer ministry team who are ready to pray for you over anything during or after any of our events. You may be given the opportunity to get prayer in the service; if not there's always a chance after. Just grab a leader and they'll be able to help you out. Don't go away wishing you'd asked!
Small Groups
These are a great way to get all kinds of support and prayer through the week.
