God’s Spirit doesn’t make us slaves who are afraid of him.
Instead, we become his children and call him our Father.
Romans 8 verse 15

As a Church Family we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come – when we were encouraged to pray for up to 5 friends, family, neighbours, colleagues to meet with Jesus.
We pray on.
We were also challenged to pray for evidence of God’s Kingdom on earth – as it is heaven – in our lives, in our church life and worship and work and in our community, our nation and our world. We pray on.
There are still copies of the helpful Prayer Journal and Novena available in the Kirk and in the Offering House – and don’t forget the Cheeky Pandas for those who are younger! The videos of helpful reflections – for young people as well – are available on the website www.thykingdomcome.global
We will be revisiting many of these here in the coming Sundays at Midday….do join us!
Our Prayer Ministry Team also provided a daily reflection over the 11 day period and you can revisit them on our YouTube channel…

As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To be led by your Holy Spirit
In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen.
On this Saturday after Pentecost…as we step into Communion Sunday at Liberton….You are invited to pause at the close of your day…with God….with others…..and pray

Up to heaven, where you rule.

For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
