Daily Devotions for OCTOBER 2022
So then, my brothers, because of God’s great mercy to us
I appeal to you : Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God,
dedicated to his service and pleasing to Him.
Romans 12 verse 1
During 2022 we have been looking daily at the theme of GOOD NEWS as we journey with Paul through his letter to the ROMANS – and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.
In October, as we move on through the year, we look at the truths behind the words of CHAPTERS 13-16 – including those names and people in chapter 16!
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’
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.
