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.
40 Women
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. It is available as a download on Kindle - £5.69 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ From Amazon in Paperback -£7.75 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ From 10 of Those in Paperback - £8.49 - https://www.10ofthose.com/ If you would like me to order you a copy which you can pick up in Burnside please email me or tell me on Sunday or leave a comment on the blog. (Cost £8 for ease of calculations) You can read the first 3 chapters at either of the Amazon links above. |
Moderator
Pray for the needs of the people of Afghanistan, and for the response of our churches to a letter from the Moderator (13 February 2022) highlighting the humanitarian and spiritual needs on the ground. Worship: Devoted as God’s people ‘They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.’ Acts 2:42. Ask God that our church family in worship might be a place in which we express devotion to him and one another in his name. Stephen & Angelina Cowan (global mission workers, Kenya) Pray for God’s blessing on Stephen and Angelina as they continue to serve in the Tuum area of northern Kenyan. Pray for good attendance at the monthly teaching times and that people’s hearts and minds will be open what is shared at these. Afghanistan Pray for the people of Afghanistan, especially those struggling to afford enough food and other basic necessities. Pray too for our partners Christian Aid Ireland and Tearfund helping those in need. |
