In this Christmas week….on this particular Tuesday….you are invited to pause and pray with others at this time of the day
Upper Room day – time-out with Jesus
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God
Reading : REVELATION chapter 5
Meditation : consider this passage – from John’s vision.
The Lamb opens the Scroll.
What is God saying to you today from this passage?
What is your response to Him today?
Take time to Pray in response to the LORD our God
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and break its seals and open it.
For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
And you have caused them to become
a Kingdom of priests for our God.
And they will reign on the earth.”
Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
‘Thy Kingdom come’ Father God
LORD our God…thank you.
Evening
Reading : read the passage again from REVELATION 5
Reflect on John’s words written here…. And then pray to this God in response
O Great and Glorious One, hear our evening prayers,
As we return our thanks to you.
As we look back on our day
As we trust you for tomorrow – and beyond.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Christmas Day is almost here!
The Kirkyard Nativity scenes are still inviting us to walk around!
As a Church we usually set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out in these busier days. In the early weeks and months of lockdown it was not possible to open and run this space…and sadly it is now once again unavailable for one and all…whether you belong to Liberton Kirk or not.
You are invited however to make time to pause and take time out…for the last time this year…perhaps for the first time…..
* To find a space in a busy world
** For time-out in this Christmas week
* Private prayer for yourself and for others
** With God – Father Son and Holy Spirit
You are invited to pause at some time during this week 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…especially at this time as we seek to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in our times.
You are invited to share in the Midday Prayers and Evening Prayers that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm on various days on the Kirk website and on our social media pages. We are also encouraged to pray with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus…..and during this particular week you are invited to join with others and pray for all those affected afresh by the new coronavirus restrictions.
We are all invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through these latter days of 2020 together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these changing and uncertain days.
