Pathway of Peace

Time-Out Tuesday

After John’s message on Sunday morning about Listening to God and going outside the comfort zone, like Peter and Cornelius, you are invited to the Upper Room….or to take a meaningful walk….or sit at the Prayer Bench….

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. This is a safe place, and COVID-19 guidelines are carefully followed.

You may find this place helpful as you pause to be still with God and pray for others in need known to you.
You may want to share the need with others and ask for their prayer support at this time.
This can be done at 8am….12 midday….and 7pm.

* 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 – come and go as you wish
* Listening to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit

You are invited to take a meaningful walk…whatever day it is!
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 at various locations from 1 John….starting at the Offering House.
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 also reminded of the Prayer Wall available on the Kirk website under the Prayer tab.

As Chris Brandie said on Sunday morning, our God has been very talkative with us….it is good we spend time considering what He is saying….and to talk with Him.

Time Out in a Changing Lockdown

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 these busier days. In these weeks and months of lockdown 2021 it has not been possible once again to open and run this space….for the moment anyhow…..all going well Tuesday 4th May will see that change!

However, this Tuesday instead of visiting the Upper Room you are encouraged to pause where you are…..and tarry a while with God, maybe a bit longer than usual……to wait…ask…seek…receive….in this season when lockdown is a-changing bit by bit.

* Find a space to be still in a busy world
** For a regular time-out during this month
* Private prayer for yourself and for others
** Listening to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayers and Evening Prayers that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm on various days on the Kirk website and on our social media pages. We are also encouraged to pray with others in our city and across our land at 6pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus…..and during these particular weeks you are invited to join with others and pray for all those affected afresh by the new coronavirus restrictions.

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 from JOHN 3.
