MAY WE HELP YOU?
Immanuel and St. Andrew Church from Streatham Common
We hope you will find something to help you in this section, perhaps with prayer, or the Bible, or other aspects of Christian living.
Follow the links on the left or in the panel below. .
There are explanations of what the pages are about with the links in the panel, and some general notes about this section below the panel.
^TOP^
Prayer
- Prayer - What?, Why? and How? Hopefully everyone will find this page of some help in their prayers, but it is particularly for you if you have never prayed by yourself before, or hardly ever - or if you find prayer difficult (don't we all!).
- Prayers for you to use. A small selection of the many prayers that have been written or composed by others. You may like to use them.
- Prayer - a Reader reflects. A brief reflection, which may stimulate some thought about prayer - and maybe even encourage you to pray!
The Bible
- What is the Bible? An introduction - some brief notes to help you. And a list of all the books of the Bible, with page numbers and a note about what they are.
- A Quick Read. Can't find your way around the Bible? No time? Try some of these short cuts to selected stories.
^TOP^
Church Life and Worship
- Seasons? What Seasons? Explanations of the Seasons and some of the Feasts and Holy Days of the Church year.
More - mainly on prayer
- Facing bereavement or death. Almost all of us will need to face up to the death of family members, friends and other people we care about at some time, and each of us has to come to terms with the fact that he or she will one day die. This page of prayers and other material has been produced in the hope that it will help.
- Icons. Some people find that icons can help with prayer, meditation or their understanding of God, and a selection is offered here for you to use. Most of them were introduced on our retreat in 2005 (see below), but here can be viewed in enlarged versions.
- Immanuel and St Andrew's Retreat - February 2005. Many people valued the retreat. You may find it helpful to see or be reminded of what took place. Some of the material we used is reproduced and this may be useful in prayer or for meditation or study.
- Links to other websites. As well as other church websites and websites of local interest our Links Page - part of our General Information section - has links which may help you with prayer, Bible reading and information about the church (not just Immanuel).
^TOP^
The pages in this part of the website are being provided to try to help you with things we hope you will want to do as a Christian - such as pray (on your own as well as in church) and read the Bible - and with things about Christianity or the church you may feel you don't understand or feel you want to know, such as explaining some of the practices of the church, both in our worship and our administration.
At present it just brings together some material produced by the webmaster or already available on the website, but it is hoped eventually to have much more. Suggestions for material - and offers of contributions - from members of the church are welcome!
There isn't much yet about church administration or worship, but you could try visiting the main Church of England website, or the website of our diocese, the Diocese of Southwark, where you may find some useful information.
Links to the main pages are at the TOP of the page.
