Pause to Pray with Others

On this particular Monday…as the nation journeys forward out of this season of Lockdown.. you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus

For family and friends and neighbours

For the work of Christian Aid across the world at this time

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision making

An Invitation to Time-Out

You are invited to the Upper Room….to take a walk….and to TKC 2021…..

As a Church we usually set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out in our busy days. In these weeks and months of lockdown 2021 it was not possible to open and run this space…….but this Tuesday it is!!

* A space to be still in a busy world – in the room above the Kirkgate Cafe 7.30am-7.30pm
** Private prayer for yourself and for others
* Listening to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit
** Opportunities to pause and pray with others at 8am…12 midday…7pm

You are invited to take a walk…
You are encouraged to take some exercise by the Government..and we would invite you to take a walk around the Kirkyard and consider what God is saying to you at this time from the words displayed.
You are invited to use the bench at the top left of the Kirkyard (under the large tree) to pause and pray – to be still with God – to ask, seek, knock, wait and receive

You are invited to Thy Kingdom Come 2021…
A global opportunity to pray with other believers for the Kingdom of God to be experienced afresh in our day.
Over 80 Church denominations from 90% of the world’s countries are involved in the 11 days from 13th-23rd May.
There is a daily theme to consider – including Thanks, Pray For, Help and Silence – and you can find these each morning on the Kirk website – our Daily Devotions at 7am, our Daily Reflections at 8am – and on www.ThyKingdomCome.global
This is an opportunity to pray for others to meet with Jesus, for our city, our nation and our world to experience and evidence the Kingdom of God in our day….and for the name of Jesus to be lifted higher than any other!

Daily Devotions for Monday 10th May, 2021

Christian Aid Week

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : MATTHEW 5 verses 1-12

Meditation : take the time to consider this passage today.
What words or images stay with you?
What is God saying to you this morning about His Kingdom ways?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Pray in response – to our God , the God who is with us in our daily living

Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of need – for yourself and others

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessings on those seeking to know God in our city
O LORD, have mercy on all we call out and pour rich blessings we ask!

Evening
Reading : read the passage again prayerfully at the end of your day
Reflect….. and then pray to our God in response

LORD God, Father God, hear my prayer this evening.
As I thank you for being with me this day
As I humbly name others before you.
As I lay myself and this world before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

A Call to Sunday Evening Prayer

You are invited to pause and pray with others as you prepare to step into a new week

You may want to revisit the Daily Devotions for today – PSALM 113

You may need to name others before Father God

You may want to be still in His refreshing presence
