Beside The Burn
This week on Beside The Burn we turn back to James asking How Do We Cope WIth Eternity?

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 is the song for today


  • “Orphan Girl,” Ane Brun


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

The Same Song by Gillian Welch

​Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Pray that the numerous staff vacancies within Social Witness (CSW) will be filled, and that the recruitment campaigns may produce suitable applicants. Give thanks for those who have recently started employment in CSW and for the Personnel Department who work tirelessly to recruit.


World Leaders
Following the recent meeting of the G7 hosted by the UK, pray that commitments made by
global leaders in relation to global vaccine rollout and climate change will be implemented and have a positive impact for those countries facing the worst effects of these significant challenges.


General Council
The General Council, the most representative body of the General Assembly, meets next week, on 30 June.  Please pray for wisdom in decision making as reports are received and necessary preparations are agreed for the forthcoming meeting of the General Assembly in October 2021.


Council for Training in Ministry  
Union College Management Committee meets on 28 June. Give thanks for the past academic year, and for how the Lord sustained staff and students through very testing times. Pray that the Lord would give the Committee wisdom, especially as significant repairs are needed to the library ceiling and the heating system.
