Thy Kingdom Come global prayer venture happened earlier last year in May. This year it will run May 29th- June 8th.
But….we pray on!
Each Sunday at midday we are revisiting the videos – including the Cheeky Pandas and Youth Videos – to be encouraged and challenged to keep praying for our 5 friends to meet with Jesus.
Here is the Scottish video for Day 2 to watch and listen to…..

As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
As we name others in need
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To live and speak of this Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.
As we step into Sunday….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from MARK 2 verse 14– as we consider some of the things that JESUS said….
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes….
We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Saturday – 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 people of Syria, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Goma and other parts of our world in deep need at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow

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

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

Up to heaven, where you rule.
Hear my evening prayer

As we call out to You this evening time
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
John 10 verse 9
In 2025 it’s all about JESUS!
In March we continue to look at some of the things that JESUS said.
We will pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.
We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ in 2025.
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.
