Daily Devotions for JULY 2022
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”
Isaiah 1 verse 18
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 July and August, as we pause for summer, we look at the Good News that came through ISAIAH.
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.

O God of Good News
Thank you
O God of Good News
Help us
O God of Good News
Hear us
O God of Good News

In Jesus’ name
This is our prayer
Together
Amen
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
