As we journey through Lent – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LEVITICUS 22 verses 1-13 – as we consider the perfect sacrifice of Jesus
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer
We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day – to us and to others
We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our world at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow

God sent Christ to be our sacrifice. Christ offered his life’s blood,
so by faith in him we could come to God.
Romans 3 verse 25
During 2022 we are looking daily at the theme of GOOD NEWS as we journey with Paul through his letter to the ROMANS – and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.
In April, as we journey though Lent to Easter, and beyond we continue to look into LEVITICUS as well as considering individual verses from ROMANS.
God’s Good News through the Sacrifice of Jesus.
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’
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.

A Prayer for the Month of APRIL
When I survey the wondrous cross
Praise the name of Jesus!
For God so loved the world
How deep the Father’s love!
There is a Redeemer, God’s own Son
Thank you, O my Father!
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
When I stand in glory
I will see his face,
And there I’ll serve my King for ever
In that holy place.
Amen and Amen!
The Lord’s Prayer
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
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
