In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..
Genesis 1 verse 1
During 2023 we were looking daily at the theme of TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS as we journeyed with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John through their gospels.
In 2024 we will consider BEFORE THE GOOD NEWS – GOD’S PLAN BEGINS – as we step back into the Old Testament….and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.
In January we journey through GENESIS together.
We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together daily in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ in 2024
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 back in 2015.

O God of Adam
Abraham, Jacob and Joseph
Our God
Travel with us
God of beginnings
Journeys, dreams and family
Our God

Speaking, moving and tomorrows
Our God
Be with us
Today, tomorrow and forever
In Jesus’ name
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
