February 2016
As we move through 2016 you are encouraged to take time each day and use the daily devotional guide – we start by travelling through PSALM 119 and then take up Catching the Wave (the booklet proved by TryPraying) as we enter the period of Lent. The Devotions are one way to feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday and in the evening….. to Pray with Him continually through your day…and even to share with others the treasures or hurdles that you discover along the way.
More information? See the Daily Celtic Devotions posted….the magazine…..and the comments under the Prayer tab…..
