“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.”
Matthew 6 verses 9 and 10
During 2022 we were looking daily at the theme of GOOD NEWS .
In 2023, we are looking at TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.
In May we consider the theme of THY KINGDOM COME as we share in the global prayer venture
Praying for 5 people we know to meet with Jesus.
Praying for God’s Kingdom to be evidenced on earth as it is in heaven.
Praying for ourselves, our Church Family, the Church, and our nation and our world.
We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ in 2023.
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 traditionswhich we started as a church family in 2015.

A Prayer for the Month of MAY
Dear LORD God,
As we witness the trials and the groaning of your beautiful creation,
which in large part we have caused, we ask You humbly
to grant us Your wisdom to try to put right all that we have done to foul it up.
We also ask You to bring about that new Kingdom with
a New Heaven and Earth to the end that we can see how Great is Our God!
We ask this of You, Mighty God, so that we may look forward to Your closer presence, through the blessings of Jesus our Saviour,
and the power of the Holy Spirit.
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
