This week our studies continue we follow the theme of Lamenting from Sunday - When Storm Clouds Gather Turn To God. Each day we look at Psalm 77.
I thought you might like to listen to different versions of Psalm 77 sung in a variety of styles this week. A new one each day.
Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Pray for strength for the residents and staff of our homes and units, that they would remain healthy, both physically and emotionally. We thank God for his guidance in all that we do, and pray we would have the wisdom and patience to commit all our plans to him. Centenary As the island of Ireland moves into a year of events to mark the centenary of the changed constitutional landscape, pray that these would provide an opportunity for honest reflection, positive civic engagement, and healing within communities. |

(John 1:5).
Jesus enters our darkness, shining most brightly there. And our darkness is no match for his persistently invading, successfully conquering light and grace and truth.
The darkness is losing.

Jigsaw
The times for yesterday’s Jigsaw Janice 1:41 Jean 2:25 Derek 3:17 Frances 3:30 The Weekend Jigsaw will take a bit longer to complete. Play the "Portrush Sand Dune Friday" puzzle! https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=2f481a989c60
The Website that I use to produce the Jigsaw each day makes our Jigsaws available for anyone to complete and sometimes they highlight one and a lot of people try it out. So far just over 7000 people have tried this one and I don’t want to dishearten anyone (because it isn’t really about the time, its about the fun of completing the puzzle and seeing the North Coast) but this table shows the incredible times that people have logged for this puzzle so far.
