UPPER ROOM and Kirk October Time-Out

As a Church we set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. However in these recent weeks and months sadly it was not possible to open and run this space….BUT IT IS THIS TUESDAY!

You are invited to….

* A place with space
** For time-out
* Private prayer
** With God

Above the Kirkgate Cafe…..7.30am-7.30pm

Opportunites to pray with others will be possible at 8am…12 noon and 7pm

There are guidelines to follow…..including wearing a face covering.

But…..our Tuesdays – and every day – can still be an opportunity for time out…..with God…..where we are at home or work

You are invited to pause regularly at some time during OCTOBER 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…especially at this time as we seek to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in these times.

The PATHWAY of PEACE around the Kirk is now closed but you can still walk around the building and as you walk and think and reflect and pray in these days know that God is still walking with you. You will find that there are prompts to consider from the Bible as you prayerfully walk – helpfully provided by Ruth from MATTHEW 6 at this time.

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayers and Evening Prayers that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm on various days on the Kirk website and on our social media pages. We are also encouraged to pray with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus…..and during this week you are invited again to join with others and pray for all those affected afresh by the new coronavirus restrictions.

You are invited to take time out with God.
You are invited to the Upper Room tomorrow.
You are invited to walk around the Kirk.

Daily Devotions for Tuesday 13th October, 2020

Upper Room day – time-out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

Reading : MATTHEW 5 verses 1-12

Meditation : take time and consider these verses this morning.
Words from Jesus.
What words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today and what is your response?

Take time to Pray in response – including for others known to you at this time

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
In Jesus’ name, 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 MATTHEW 5

Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes

God of Kingdom blessing, the God of today,
My God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we look back on our day
As we journey from today to tomorrow
As we seek Your Kingdom reign in our lives
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
