On Beside The Burn this week, we turn to Daniel Chapter 5 and The Writing Is On The Wall. A short devotional video, bible reading and prayer to encourage us this week
Lent this year begins on Wednesday 2nd of March and covers the 40 day period (excluding Sundays) leading up to Easter. This year we are going to take the 40 day journey exploring the lives of 40 significant but perhaps often overlooked women. Each day on Beside The Burn we will read a bible passage about one of the women and consider their part in the Easter Story. The 40 women can be found in the book “40 Women - Unseen Women of the Bible from Eden to Easter” by Ros Clarke. Like our journey at Advent it isn’t essential to have the book but you will probably find it a helpful addition.
You can order “40 Women” at any good bookshop or online.

Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Willow Brook is a supporting housing scheme for people with a learning disability; while Topley Court supports those with a physical disability. Pray for Liz Wilson, the manager, as she ensures tenants are encouraged to live as independently as possible, with appropriate support from staff. PCI Press Officer Mark Smith is PCI’s Press Officer, supporting the work and mission of the church through media engagement and providing advice and support to colleagues, congregations and presbyteries. Pray for wisdom, grace and creativity; and that God would be glorified through his work. General Council Pray for Governments in London, Belfast and Dublin. Give thanks for a process of selecting political leaders which gives ordinary people like us, a say. Pray for governance which will honour God and his word, in an era of many competing voices. Council for Training in Ministry The Linkage Commission meets on Tuesday 22 February. Pray for the Commission and its convener, James Livingstone, as it seeks to allocate resources (ministers, additional pastoral personnel, auxiliary ministers) across PCI at a time when the number of available ministers is low and falling. |
