Tuesday Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through this week….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LUKE chapter 14 verses 15-33 – as we consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Tuesday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the team at StageNSlam this week

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow

Midday Prayers for StageNSlam

On this first Tuesday in July – you are invited to pause and pray where you are for all those leading and attending StageNSlam this week…..

P-ause with God
R-ejoice in His blessings given
A-sk for the Team – as they prepare to serve and spend time with local teenagers – and for all those who come along that they might meet with Jesus above all else
Y-ield to His Kingdom ways

Prayer Prayer Prayer

As a Church, Prayer is one of the central pillars in our church life and work – and in our individual lives as disciples of Jesus.

We have a Prayer Team available to listen and chat and pray with you….on a Sunday morning at the Cross after the morning service…..or whenever suits your schedule.

There are prayer request boxes in the Offering House, the Kirkgate Centre foyer and at the East Door in the Kirk building for you to place your request – named or anonymous.

There is the Peace Pathway around the Kirk building during these summer weeks…..including the Prayer Bench at the rear of the building under the large tree (weather permitting!).

If we can help in any way please do contact Linda Wright, Alastair, Susan or Hazel or any member of the Prayer Team.

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

O Lord, our Lord
Help us understand your words
Help us be ready
Help us follow you more closely – even today

Ask and seek and knock……and hear
Father God…thank you.

God of truth and the God of today,
My God, our God,

As we name others we care about before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
