Time-out Tuesday
As a Church we have set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. However in these times sadly it is not possible to open and run this space….
But…..our Tuesdays can still be an opportunity for time out…..with God…..where we are at home or work
You are invited to pause at some time in your Tuesday tomorrow 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…
You are invited to share in the Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm. We are also encouraged to pray the Lord’s Prayer with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus.
You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this week together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these particular days….
