THANK YOU
Thank you for joining in our Lenten Journey through the Beatitudes. The Blog will now take a break for a week but will be back on Monday 28th April 2025 with a new devotional study and some more Jigsaws.
Those Who Wait by Matt Searles

Burnside Blog
Each week day this Blog contains prayer topics, articles,  a short devotional video and a Jigsaw.


This week as we journey through Lent we are being guided by the book “Quietness & Trust” by Matt Searles. Even if you don’t have the book you can still listen each day, but the book will contain additional information including prayers and a pattern of worship to follow each day. There are also songs to listen to each day of Lent and a Lent playlist.
Remember that there will be readings Monday to Saturday each week with a break each Sunday.
