Beside The Burn
On the Burnside Blog today we think about what it means to come to the Lord’s Table.

Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Pray for all who visit our Homes and Units, whether they be family or friends, ministers or other Health and Social Care Staff. Pray that they will feel welcome, even within the current restrictions. Give thanks for the patience of family and friends as they worked through the restricted visiting. Pray for all professional staff who supported the Homes and Units during these challenging months.

Education
As a difficult and different school year comes to an end pray for teachers, principals and support staff as they begin to think about the new term in September. Pray for pupils transitioning into a new educational phase that they would have peace in the midst of uncertainty.

General Council
Please pray for the meetings of the General Council being held as an in-person gathering in the Assembly Hall during this coming week. Pray for both those organizing the logistics, ensuring that Health and Safety mitigations are in place, and those who will be taking part in discussion and decision making.

Council for Training in Ministry
The Council is due to meet next Wednesday 16 June at 2pm, for what will be its first full, in-person meeting for some time. Pray for the Council, and its convener, Rev Nigel McCullough, as it facilitates the work of Union College, training students for the ministry, Accredited Preachers, among other things.

World War II Arrow
I mentioned this on the blog some time ago, but you may be interested to read again now that a new information board has been unveiled.
A restored World War II target arrow is bringing history to life on the Causeway Coast Way. The concrete arrow used by bomber crews as a training target indicator is visible again near Rinagree outside Portstewart thanks to local volunteers.

Jonathon Carswell tells us why he couldn’t put this book down.
British missionaries David and Shirley Donovan were running a health centre in Nigeria when a pounding on their bedroom door tipped their lives upside down. Threatened at gunpoint, held hostage and ransomed for a billion naira, they tell of the grace that allowed them to witness to their kidnappers in the midst of the chilling and disturbing realisation of what man is capable of.

Bible Trek (2 minute video)
In the time of Jesus, Nazareth was a small hamlet occupied by no more than 400–500 people; it was a quiet place, with not much going for it. Yet it was here that the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to tell her she would give birth to a son. Although Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the family returned to Nazareth and Jesus grew up there learning both the Scriptures and the family business before he began his public ministry.

New City Catechism
Q) How Can We Be Saved?
A) Only by faith in Jesus Christ and in his substitutionary atoning death on the cross; so even though we are guilty of having disobeyed God and are still inclined to all evil, nevertheless, God, without any merit of our own but only by pure grace, imputes to us the perfect righteous- ness of Christ when we repent and believe in him.

Songs About Communion
Each day this week we have a few songs to help us meditate about Communion.

Love Each Other (All the room was hushed and still)
This first hymn is one that I didn’t know but Julie suggested it based on our journey through James and the Communion service on Sunday. It is a beautiful hymn with powerful words.
In it Graham Kendrick imagines the scene in the Upper Room on the night before Jesus died. Jesus washes his disciples feet and teaches them to serve.

All the room was hushed and still
And when the bowl was filled
He stooped to wash their feet
And when it was complete, he said

This is what I'm asking you to do
This is why I'm kneeling here beside you
This is what I want my church to be
This is what I want the world to see
Who it is you follow Love each other One another

Jesus Stand Among Us / Here Is Bread
Julie got me thinking about other Graham Kendrick songs that would be appropriate for Communion, so here is another beautiful song.

Banquet
Graham Kendrick

There's no banquet so rich
As the bread and the wine
No table more holy
No welcome so kind
There's no mercy so wide
As the arms of the cross
Come and taste, come and see
Come find and be found

Have You Heard - Graham Kendrick

Have you heard of a God of love
Of a God who cares?
Have you heard how he came among us
Stepping down from the heights of heaven
Breathing air He made

Let’s Pray For Moderator

As our Ministers are encouraged to step back from pastoral duties this week, pray for their spiritual refreshment, through reading, resting and the Refresh Day Conference on Wednesday 9 June. The Refresh Day Conference includes input from the Moderator, Dr Andrew Collins and Mr Jonathan Lamb. Pray for those who come to one of the venue face to face, and for those joining online.

Pray for Ministers for who this past year has been especially demanding. Pray for their encouragement, especially as they think, pray and plan for the incoming church year, especially with so much uncertainty.

Pray for the families of ministers, who quietly carry the weight of responsibility which often comes from living in The Manse. Pray for their encouragement, and for the summer to be a time of refreshment and joy.

Derek and Jane French (global mission workers in Spain)
Pray for Derek and Jane and their work with Bilbao International Church. Pray for Derek, who is back on a part-time basis, preaching this month and continuing with a sermon series on the gospel of John.

Malawi
Pray for the Student Christian Organisation of Malawi and Scripture Union Malawi as they spread the gospel to children and teenagers in Malawi and seek to disciple young Christians in their Christian faith.

Facing The Canon
J.John is joined by inspirational lead worshipper, Noel Robinson.

John Blanchard
Many of you will have been saddened to hear of the death of John Blanchard in recent weeks. You may well have read some of his books and probably heard him speak on his many visits to Northern Ireland. Recently at 7 Churches Events in Portrush and Ballyrashane in the last few years.
Below is an interview that he gave on the 21st March this year (2021)
The interview is titled “Before They Leave The Stage” and is one of a series of interviews with well known Christian figures who are reaching the end of their ministry in an attempt to introduce them to a new generation.

Thanksgiving Service
A service of thanksgiving for the life of John Blanchard will take place later this month on Tuesday 22nd June, there is a link to the service below and I will try and post it again on the day.

Beside The Burn
This week we begin a new series “How do we cope with James?” This week we ask “How do we cope with ... Peacemaking?” We all face difficulties in life and James has some great advice.

Songs From The Book Of James
The Gospel Coalition have produced a playlist of 100 songs inspired by the book of James, and I intend to share some of those songs each day on the Blog, but you can listen to the full playlist during the next few weeks as we continue our studies in this book. I have benefited greatly from listening to these songs over and over again as I have asked God to speak from His word.
You can stream the playlist on Spotify or on Apple Music right now.

Here are the songs for today with a little thought about their subject matter.

Draw Near to God (4:8–10)

“Draw Near,” Passion

Youtube Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq2dO6q3VUIbGS7l8qyXDSrTrU3iXS_-y
I’ll add the songs to this playlist each day.

Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Pray for the Specialist Services Units – Thompson House, Carlisle House and Gray’s Court. Pray for those who have been discharged from prison, that they may work hard to remain in the community. Pray for those who are recovering from addictive behaviours, that they may find a new focus in their lives.

Local Government
Give thanks for those who step up to serve their communities across Ireland on local councils. In Northern Ireland pray for those who will take on the leadership role of Mayor or Council Chair for the coming year. Pray that they would be good leaders and make a positive impact.

General Council
As congregations resume in-person meetings both in Northern Ireland and ROI, please pray for Kirk Sessions who will be making difficult decisions regarding the planned re-opening of activities as restrictions in both jurisdictions allow. Pray also for the Clerk of Assembly as he and leaders of other denominations interact on these issues with both governments.

Council for Training in Ministry
This Thursday, the final interview for selecting student deaconesses takes place. It is hoped that three students will begin training at Union College in September. Pray for the interview panel, the prospective students, and for the staff at Union as they put the finishing touches to the training programme.
