Tuesday…Upper Room Time-Out and More

As a Church 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, and COVID-19 guidelines are carefully followed.
Please do remember to take a lateral flow test before you come out…..face coverings and social distancing please.

As we journey further into this New Year, the Upper Room will be open this Tuesday 7.30am-7.30pm – and perhaps this will be a place for you to visit – for the first time?

* To find a quiet space to be still in a busy world
** To pause and pray with God – for yourself and for others at this time in your week
* To listen to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit – in these slower days and moments

There will be opportunities to pause and pray with others – at 8am – 12 noon – 7pm – and John and those who gather will be glad to share these with you.

You are invited 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.

Complementing our WORLD MISSION service next Sunday morning, the Offering House will have a display of the breadth of the church’s missionary interests across our European, African and Asian Partners. It will remain up there until 20th February, so, take the opportunity to visit (it will be open daily) and become better informed so as to PRAY more effectively for our contacts around the world.

You are also reminded of the Prayer Wall available on the Kirk website under the Prayer tab – a place you can bring your prayers – and ask for prayer from the Prayer Team if appropriate. At this time of new coronavirus cases you may want to add your own prayer for our world at this time.

The Daily Devotions are taking us to a daily time of considering God’s Good News with God’s written Word in the book of ROMANS – and you may want to pause to pray with others at the start of each day. 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…

May we each and all experience time-out with the Living and True God – whenever – wherever – as we journey through these early days of 2022.

Daily Devotions for Tuesday 11th January, 2022

Upper Room day – time-out with God

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

Reading : ROMANS chapter 11

Meditation : take time and consider this chapter in the Bible this morning.
What is God teaching/reminding you today?
What is your response to Him?

Take time to Pray in response – including for others known to you seeking God at this time
And for all nations in our world

We can but worship you this day O LORD
We can but ask for you to send saving grace this day O LORD
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Ask and seek and knock……and hear
Father God…thank you.

God of the Romans and the God of today,
The God of grace and mercy
The God of eternal faithfulness
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.
