As part of the OCC Streamed Sunday on 5 April 2020, we're encouraging all of us to 'MoT' our devotional habits, those habits - of prayer, Bible reading, and much more - that facilitate our relationship with God.
We're recommending two great resources, and for those of you that have not yet manged to get hold of them, below are some of the main headings from each of those books, along with other links.
Before You Open Your Bible, Matt Smethurst
www.10ofthose.com/uk/products/24957/before-you-open-your-bible
(You can buy direct, or as it's best bought in bulk, we've got hold of lots of copies, and you can pick one up from either the O'Connells' house or the Kirks' house - as we're socially distancing there is a box outside each of our front doors. Just take one. Or, email the church office, and they will post one to you.)
