Tuesday before Lent
As a Church our theme for 2021 comes from John 15.5……Listening to God, in Prayer with Him.
It was the theme we took time to consider at our Focus Day at the atart of the year…..which was recorded if you missed it….well worth the catch-up!
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 these busier days. In the early weeks and months of lockdown 2021 it is not possible once again to open and run this space.
However you are invited however to make time to pause and take time out where you are…at this significant time of the year….perhaps for the first time this week or month….. and with Lent beginning tomorow – traditionally a time for reflection and self-denial – you are invited to pause just now and take a few minutes with God….listening, asking, waiting, receiving…
You are also invited during Lent 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 6pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus…..and during these particular weeks you are invited to join with others and pray for all those affected afresh by the new coronavirus restrictions.
We are all invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through these early days of 2021 together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these changing and uncertain days. You are encouraged to take some exercise by the Government..and we would invite you to take a walk around the Kirkyard and consider the Word for Today words and images from PHILIPPIANS at this time.
