The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.”
Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.”
Let anyone who is thirsty come.
Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.
Revelation 22 verse 17
During 2020 we are looking at standing on the promises of God – as well as dipping into the Psalms some weekends – 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.
In December we consider standing on the Promises in the Bible of A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ as this year with a difference of 2020 closes.
These 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 the 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 which we started as a church family in 2015.

Father God
You are preparing us for the coming of the new Heaven and the new Earth
The old will disappear
The new will come

You are our God and we are your children
Amen
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
