I know I said there would be no Blog, but there just seemed to be too many things to share so this is a very cut down simplified version of the Blog. It won’t look as pretty as normal there may not be as much content but the links should all work.
For Jigsaw fans I have included a link to a Jigsaw that has previously appeared on the Blog. If you have a time please submit it in the comments rather than emailing to me.
Beside The Burn
During the holiday break, Beside The Burn is going to concentrate on The Names of God, each day that there is a blog, there will be a reading of a short chapter from a book Incomparable. Each day will look at one verse that reveals a name of God.

Let’s Pray for The Economy
Give thanks to God that economic activity and retail and business life is beginning to recommence, asking that God would continue to enable it to bounce back to health.
Pray for those guiding recovery, either in individual businesses or government level, asking that God would give wisdom and resilience, blessing their work for the good of society as a whole.
