Rhythm of Prayer

As part of your summer rhythm of prayer and devotion you are invited to walk the Pathway of Peace around the Kirk courtyard….to slow down and take time out with God.

You are encouraged to visit the Daily Devotions in the magazine or online as we journey together in Christ through the year.

You are reminded of the opportunity to pause and pray with others at 10am on a Sunday morning, of the prayer ministry offered on a Sunday after the morning service of worship, and the Prayer Tree available in the Kirk.
