WEEKLY LIVE PRAYER: tomorrow (Thursday) at 8.15pm.
Believed to be available on all regular platforms.
“Praying to God is a form of communication and connection with the higher power, done to express gratitude, seek guidance, or offer support. It can be done out loud or silently, and the content of the prayer is typically unique to the individual's beliefs and needs or for wider groups.”
This Saturday is our monthly Men's Breakfast open to all men in the community - church members or not. Come along, invite a friend, invite a neighbour.
VERSES OF THE DAY:
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he gad done.
Genesis 2:2-3 (NIV)
Sunday's message was about rest and Sabbath. Do you prioritise rest and restfulness? Time to reflect on God? You were made for rest.
Welcome to the livestreamed Bereavement and Memorial Service from the Brightons Ministry Centre of Upper Braes Parish Church in Falkirk. This service is led by Ian Baillie.
“The Lord is near the brokenhearted; He delivers those who are discouraged.” (Psalm 34:18)

Thank you for a lovely service
That was a lovely service today
Join us this Sunday as we continue in our 10 Commandments series and seek God's grace and wisdom for the best life! We also celebrate our children and young people Moving Up at the Brightons Ministry Centre as they continue their journey of faith into the next Sunday group. Prayer times as normal.
Join us as we gather for live prayer online! Watch via our YouTube channel and Facebook page as members of our congregation take your prayer requests and pray for them live. Let us know ideas for prayer requests in the Live Chat.
Another option is to join our "Brightons Church Prayer" Zoom Room, where you can say a prayer out loud and others on the YouTube live stream will also hear it!
Please contact us via the church email address or Facebook page to get the login details for the Zoom prayer room.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR JOINING THE ZOOM ROOM:
(1) Should you be watching on YouTube whilst you call the Zoom Room, please MUTE YouTube as otherwise we might get feedback and/or you might get distracted by the time delay or by your voice.
(2) Please do SPEAK UP when you pray, so that you are clearly heard by everyone else.
(3) Please make sure your mobile is not on "speaker phone" setting for the Zoom call, as it might also generate feedback.
(4) Once you are finished your prayer, you can end your call or stay on the line to hear the other prayers and/or pray again.
