Father God, our gracious God, hear our evening prayers,
As we return our thanks to you.
As we look back on our day
As we trust you for tomorrow
As we journey with Jesus
In these particular days
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Time out Tuesday

….and so we journey through another week…..

…..with our God…who is Loving, Faithful and only a prayer away.

As a Church we have set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM.
However in these times it is not possible to open and run this space sadly.

But…our Tuesdays can still be an opportunity for time out…

You are invited to pause at some time in your Tuesday and be still with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are encouraged to speak with Him…to listen to Him…to receive from Him…

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm.
We are also encouraged to pray the Lord’s Prayer with others in our city and across our land at 5pm.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this week together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these days….
