Bible Verse for the Week

Daily Devotions for MARCH 2022

In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.
Leviticus 4 verse 35

During 2022 we are looking daily at the theme of GOOD NEWS as we journey with Paul through his letter to the ROMANS – and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.

In March, as we journey though Lent, we look into LEVITICUS as well as ROMANS.
Leviticus is not an easy book to chew over – but there are truths behind the words that will help us understand more about God’s Good News through the Sacrifice of Jesus.

We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’

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 in 2015.
