As we move onward towards the global prayer venture Thy Kingdom Come 2024….so we keep praying!!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting the daily themes from 2023 – including the Cheeky Pandas for a few weeks for the younger members of our Church Family!
Here is a video about JOY – the drum machine!
On this first Tuesday in February 2024 – you are invited to pause and pray where you are with those gathered in the Upper Room today……
P-ause with God
R-ejoice in His blessings given
A-sk for the particular needs of our church family, the SEECOS church family, our nation and our world at this time – especially the people and leaders of Yemen, Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Somalia and other countries in need
Y-ield to His Kingdom ways
Upper Room day – time-out with God
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord
Reading : EXODUS chapter 11
Meditation : take the time to consider these words and events today
The plague on the Firstborn
What is your response to God’s Word this morning?
We can but worship you this day O LORD
With our thoughts and doubts and wonderings
We can but ask for those in need or trouble this day O LORD
As we call out to you for our world in these days
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask and seek and knock……and hear
Father God…thank you.
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from EXODUS chapter 11
Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes
God of the Israelites of old and the God of today,
The God of saving grace,
My God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we thank you for your help today
As we journey from today to tomorrow
As we name others we care about before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
As we step into February 2024….
At Liberton Kirk we usually set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out in our busy days above the Kirkgate Cafe. This is a safe place for you to be.
The Upper Room will be open this Tuesday and you are encouraged to take time-out with God…..to find a quiet place with space at this busy time of year…..7.30am-7.00pm……with opportunities to pray with John and others at 8am… Midday and 7pm.
* A space for you to be still in your busy needy world
** To pause and pray with God at this time – the God of all comfort, wisdom, mercy and hope.
* To listen to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit – in these times
You are encouraged to visit the Offering House – beside the gates – 8am-5pm each day – where you can find more information and helpful leaflets and booklets about our faith and our Kirk. There is also a Prayer Request Box situated here for you to leave your own personal requests – our Prayer Team will prayerfully support those you name. Have you walked the Word for Today around the Kirk building yet?
You are also encouraged to use the bench at the top left of the Kirkyard (under the large tree – weather permitting!) to pause and pray – to be still with God – to ask, seek, knock, wait and receive.
The Daily Devotions have been taking us to a daily time of considering God’s Good News with God’s written Word – and you may want to pause to pray with others at the start of each day as we consider the truths behind the words of this part of the Bible. During February our focus is on the words and events from the books of EXODUS and JOSHUA as we continue the theme of Before the Good News – God’s Plan Begins . This is available on the Kirk website blog and our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter from 7am- and in the church magazine.
And – don’t forget the brief Sunday morning Reflection at 8am…….and the Thy Kingdom Come global prayer venture daily reflections on our YouTube channel….from members of our Church Family providing a reflection over the 11 days period. This year the venture will run 9-19 May. Will you still be praying for 5??
May we each and all experience time-out with the Living and True God – whenever – wherever – as we journey through 2024.
As we move onward towards Thy Kingdom Come 2024 (May 9-19) ….so we keep praying!!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit the daily themes from 2023 – including the Cheeky Pandas for a few weeks for the younger members of our Church Family!
Here is a video about PATIENCE – the online gig!
