Tuesday

Time-out Tuesday and Evening Gathering for Prayer

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

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

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…. And so for this reason we will still be gathering together for Prayer in the evening…..but via Zoom.
It will be different.
But God is the same.
It will be strange in many ways.
But God is waiting to hear our prayers.

So you are encouraged to be part of this short time together…Tuesday evening at 7.30…..when we will be giving thanks, praying for our world, our country, our Church and for each other…….in spoken and unspoken prayer.

If you have not received the link for this Zoom meeting, please do contact Gary Ross, John or Alastair.
