Tuesday Rhythm of Devotion

As a church we practice a varied rhythm of devotion.

We follow a programme of Daily Devotions to encourage our personal pilgrimage of faith.
We are encouraged to visit the Upper Room each Tuesday – a place with space for time out with God.
We are called to Monthly Prayer together as a Church Family on the last Tuesday evening of each month.

This Tuesday the Upper Room will be open 8am-4pm.
Times of prayer together at 12noon-12.30pm and 2.45-3.45pm.

Next Tuesday the Kirk will be open 7.30am-7.30pm for One Friday Upper Room in the Kirk.

Tuesday 30th will see the next Gathering for Prayer 7.30-8.45pm when we will focus on Stewarding and Finances in our spoken and unspoken prayers together.

You are invited to be part of this rhythm of devotion at Liberton Kirk.
