“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
1 Corinthians 15 verse 55
In 2025 it’s all about JESUS!
In April as we journey through Lent and Easter-time we will look at Paul’s letter to the Galatians, dip into Isaiah over the Easter weekend and then consider the truths of 1 Corinthians chapter 15.
We will pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city 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 2025.
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.
Morning
Reading and Meditation on the content and Prayer of response
Midday
