About

From the start of the pandemic in 2020 when we were in lock-down, I decided to send out a daily devotion, except on weekends, via WhatsApp and Facebook to our members. Soon it was distributed more widely on the Net. After a year, I asked some members of staff and a few other lay folk to assist with this endeavour as we moved beyond lock-down.

As with our sermons, the devotions cover a wide variety of topics, some as one-off episodes, others as parts of a mini-series.

Our prayer is that God will use this channel to meet you where you are in your own faith journey. May it help you to grow in your relationship with Christ and become a more effective disciple.

God bless you,
Pastor Graeme
