Well there are certainly a few things we cannot do at this time sadly!
However we all have time now on our hands!
As a Church we usually set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out in these busier days. In the early weeks and months of lockdown 2021 it is not possible once again to open and run this space.
You are invited however to make time to pause and take time out…at this time of the year…perhaps for the first time….. Our theme for 2021 comes from John 15 and focusses on Prayer, Listening to God.
* Find a space to be still in a busy world
** For regular time-out during this month
* Private prayer for yourself and for others
** With God – Father Son and Holy Spirit
You are invited to pause at some time during this week and be still with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
You are encouraged to speak with Him….to listen to Him.…to receive from Him…especially at this time as we seek to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in our times.
You are invited to share in the Midday Prayers and Evening Prayers that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm on various days on the Kirk website and on our social media pages. We are also encouraged to pray with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus…..and during these particular weeks you are invited to join with others and pray for all those affected afresh by the new coronavirus restrictions.
We are all invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through these early days of 2021 together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these changing and uncertain days. You are encouraged to take some exercise by the Government..and we would invite you to take a walk around the Kirkyard and consider the Word for Today words and images from JOHN 14 in this month.
