Daily Devotions for 27th August, 2018

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : REVELATION chapter 1

Meditation : take time to consider this chapter as your day starts.
What does it say to you today about Jesus?
What is your response?

Then Pray and Praise in response to this Person – for it is a good preparation for heaven!!
You may even want to sing out with joy!

(Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of understanding and need)

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those nearing death at this time
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from Revelation 1
Reflect on what you read and then praise and pray to this God in response
Great and majestic One, hear my evening prayers
And receive my evening praise
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Encountering God at six30

The start of the year the whole church is looking at being Upward looking and how we encounter God, we’re doing the same thing at six30 evening services on Sundays. We have a great mix of speakers lined up and starting us off in February is Nikki who is leading an evening in the church inspired by the book Be Live Pray by Becca Dean, where we actively look at what prayer is, how we do it and what we can pray about. Check out speakers for the next few months by keeping up to date on our six30 page but also come along on Sunday night if you would like to look more into how to pray day by day.

You are invited to spend half an hour enjoying the peace and beauty of our Kirkyard and following the current Word for Today, which in November is Luke 18, 18-30. The Kirkyard is open from 8am to 5pm. Start at the Offering House just inside the main gate, where the Introduction is on the outside wall. You will be led on a journey anti-clockwise round the church building following the Bible passage in seven sections, with thoughts and prayers. Please avoid any hazards and take care if you walk on the grass. If you are unable to visit the Kirkyard, you can read the November Word for Today by clicking the picture below.
