Beside The Burn
This week our studies continue we follow the theme of Lamenting from Sunday - When Storm Clouds Gather Turn To God. Each day we look at Psalm 77.

Psalm 77
Two very different versions of Psalm 77 today.

Let’s Pray For Volker and JinHyeog Glissmann (Global mission workers, Malawi)
Give thanks for the publication of the book that Volker edited on the laity's role in the Malawian church. May the contributions help the church to reflect further. Pray too for good health for the Glissmann family.

1) Phil Wickham - Doxology/Amen
​2) Upperroom - Doxology - a much longer version
​3) Choral Version - Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow

In this series of short films Adrian shares some of his life experiences so that others will be encouraged and inspired to live their lives for God's glory by Finding Forgiveness, Guidance, Love and Hope.
