A Call to Thursday Evening Prayer

As part of the Kirk’s rhythm of prayer and devotion we invite people to pause and pray each day.

We offer a Daily Devotions Bible reading each morning and a focus for midday prayer.

At this time in your Thursday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes.

You may wish to revisit JOHN 1.1 and consider the Logos, the Eternal Word who is God.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day.
