Liberton Kirk Celtic Devotions

‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.’ ~Psalm 119 v 105

You are encouraged to make time each day for the pattern of devotions. Starting tomorrow feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday and in the evening. Pray with Him continually. This pattern is based on the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions, which relates to the Kirk’s origins. Share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover. Let us commit together to pilgrimage with our God. You will find these devotionals being posted on the website and on facebook daily at 7am. The Church magazine provides a shorter version of this devotional.

‘May God be gracious to us and bless us that Your ways may be known on earth, and make His face shine upon us, your salvation among all nations.’ ~Psalm 67 vs 1-2

WORD FOR TODAY – ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT

You are invited to spend a short while enjoying the peace and beauty of our Kirkyard and following the current Word for Today, which in this Advent season, and until 3rd January, is the Christmas story. The Kirkyard is open from 8am to 5pm. Start at the Offering House just inside the main gate, where the first sheet (of three) is on the outside wall. You will find the nativity scene in the Offering House and the shepherds and the wise men in the Kirkyard. If you are unable to visit the Kirkyard, you can read “On Christmas Night” by clicking the picture below. You can read previous Words for Today by clicking here.
