Tuesday Evening Prayer with Others
Daily Devotions for FEBRUARY 2024
I am the LORD your God who brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves.
Exodus 20 verse 2
During 2023 we were looking daily at the theme of TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS as we journeyed with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John through their gospels.
In 2024 we are considering BEFORE THE GOOD NEWS – GOD’S PLAN BEGINS – as we step back into the Old Testament and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.
In February we journey together through EXODUS and JOSHUA.
We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ in 2024.
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.
