‘Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.’
Psalm 119 verse 105
During November we take the time each day to spend with God and His Word as we follow the Sunday morning series WHY…? and continue the Big ALPHA themes – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time of the year.
The online Sunday evening devotion now also includes a Celtic Prayer.
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we continue together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2018.
The Devotions are but one way to feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday, in the evening… to pray with Him continually through your day and even to share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover.
The Church website and Facebook page (even on a handy mobile) provide a fuller daily devotional page. However it all follows the pattern below which the information provided fits into, based on the Kirk’s origins of the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
