DAILY DEVOTIONS
Daily Devotions for DECEMBER 2024
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1 verse 14
In 2024 we were considering BEFORE THE GOOD NEWS – GOD’S PLAN BEGINS – as we stepped 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 December we celebrate the birth of a Saviour! His name is JESUS.
We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response
as we journey together in our closing ‘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.

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

But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
