By name
And help me hear
What the Spirit is saying in these days

To my Church
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time on this Tuesday
Ask, seek, knock….hear!

The TKC daily theme today is PRAY FOR

And for our world in these days
For each and all to experience the Kingdom of God.

O God, hear our prayers and give Kingdom saving grace we ask
In Jesus’ name
Amen

Evening
Reading : read JOHN 14 verses 25 and 26 again
Reflect on the words from Jesus…. and then Pray….to our God
Father, Son and Holy Spirit

O LORD our God, hear our evening prayers
As we return our thanks to you for this day
And for those you have met with
Even today
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy will be done
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Tuesday Prayers

As a Church we have set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. However in these times sadly it is not possible to open and run this space….usually!
You can tomorrow…via Zoom…if you wish.
John, Lindsay and members of the Prayer Team are coming together for a short time at 12 noon and if you wish to join them in Midday Prayers during this venture of Thy Kingdom Come please do contact John or Alastair.

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

You are invited to pause at some time in your Tuesday tomorrow 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…

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm. We are also encouraged to pray the Lord’s Prayer with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this week together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these particular days….

And in the evening at 7.30 on Zoom the Church will be gathering for prayer as part of the THY KINGDOM COME prayer venture when many Christians around the world will also be asking, seeking and knocking on Heaven’s door with a particular sense of urgency in these days.

We want to see our family and friends meet with Jesus and experience the Kingdom of God in their lives.

We long to see the Church and our world experience afresh the Kingdom of God.

As a church, Liberton Kirk has registered to be a part of this.

A prayer from the TKC morning and evening prayer guide….

Almighty God,
your ascended Son has sent us into the world
to preach the good news of your kingdom:
inspire us with your Spirit
and fill our hearts with the fire of your love,
that all who hear your Word
may be drawn to you,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Call to Evening Prayer
