As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the youth videos.
This week it is JESUS – as we are encouraged to focus on Him and tell others about Him!
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : REVELATION 22 verses 6-21
Meditation : as we pause with God at the close of the month
Take time to consider these verses and rejoice that the best is yet to come!
And then pray with hope and rejoicing in response to this God, our God
O God of eternal hope
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
We look up to you
We offer you our songs of hope and praise
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Jesus said….. “Ask and it will be given to you;
Seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Matthew 7 verse 7
During 2021 we are looking daily at the theme of PRAYER – and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time.
* From September to December we are looking at P-R-A-Y
Pause – Rejoice – Ask – Yield
And so this month we shall be taking the time to look at ASKING God from His written Word. *
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.

To keep in step with the Holy Spirit
For others
To meet with Jesus
To know the help of the Spirit
Please
In Jesus’ name
Amen
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
