Taking time to wait before God

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

as a living reality in my life – even today
as I thank you that you are with me
on my journey through life.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

LORD God, our great God,
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Time out Tuesday in Holy Week

This is indeed an unusual Holy Week.

Yet our God is Loving, Faithful and only a prayer away!

As a Church we have set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM.
However in these times it is not possible to open and run this space sadly.

But…our Tuesdays can still be an opportunity for time out…

You are invited to pause at some time in your Tuesday 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…

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm.
We are also encouraged to pray the Lord’s Prayer with others in our city at 5pm.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this Holy Week together.

You may wish to use the PowerPoint provided online from
