Daily Devotions for JUNE 2021

O LORD, I have heard of what you have done, and I am filled with awe.
Now do again in our times the great deeds you used to do.
Be merciful, even when you are angry.

Habakkuk 3 verse 2

During 2021 we are looking daily at the theme of PRAYER – and pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time.

* In June as we journey onwards after PENTECOST we consider the theme of THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS + DANIEL *

We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during this year of 2021.

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.

Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
