We pause with others around the world
To Pray for Ukraine
O God of Peace give Peace
O God of Comfort give Comfort
O God of Help give Help
O God of Courage give Courage
O God of Truth give Truth and Justice
We call out together
In Jesus’ name, Amen
As we journey through these days of October……
At Liberton Kirk 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 above the Kirkgate Cafe. This is a safe place for you to be.
The Upper Room will be open this Tuesday……and you are invited to take time-out with God at some point…7.30am – 7.30pm….and to pause with Him….reflecting…praying…. Please note the Upper Room will NOT be open next Tuesday, 18th.
This is a quiet place…..a place for you and God to take time-out together
* A space for you to be still in a busy world
** To pause and pray with God at this significant time – the God of all comfort, wisdom, mercy and hope
* To listen to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit – in these times
There are opportunities to pause and pray with others at 8am, 12 noon and 7pm….and John and others gathered then will be happy to see you at any of these times…..
You are invited to visit the Offering House – beside the gates – 8am-5pm – there are several helpful reflections and prayers – and helpful leaflets and booklets about our faith and our Kirk – and our role as an Eco Congregation. There is also a Prayer Request Box situated here for you to leave your own personal requests – our Prayer Team will prayerfully support those you name.
You are also encouraged to use the bench at the top left of the Kirkyard (under the large tree – weather permitting) to pause and pray – to be still with God – to ask, seek, knock, wait and receive.
The Daily Devotions are taking us to a daily time of considering God’s Good News with God’s written Word in the book of ROMANS during 2022 – and you may want to pause to pray with others at the start of each day as we consider the truths behind the words of this part of the Bible. This is available on the Kirk website blog and our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter from 7am- and in the church magazine.
And – don’t forget the brief Sunday morning Reflection at 8am…….and you can still revisit Thy Kingdom Come global prayer venture daily reflections on our YouTube channel…..from our Prayer Ministry Team providing a reflection over the recent 11 days
May we each and all experience time-out with the Living and True God – whenever – wherever – as we journey through these days of October 2022.

As we step into a new week – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from ROMANS chapter 14 verses 5-9– as we continue to consider the GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2022
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes
We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Sunday – 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
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14 verse 17
As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture earlier this year – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we have been re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we again revisit one of the videos that was released for younger viewers….. Series 2 with the Cheeky Pandas – The After Show Party – Bear Grylls – a story with the theme of PRAYER.
