Breathing IN and OUT during the week…

Midweek community at Kerith Bracknell is an invitation to deepen connections and create space for God beyond Sundays. As Simon Benham encourages us to Breathe IN and Breathe OUT God's presence this year, we're exploring new ways for community to flourish. Whether through small groups meeting in the daytime, Cafe Church in partnership with Revive, or opportunities to serve our local schools and international community — there’s a place for everyone to belong and grow.

Thursday Prayer Theme: Breathing Out (pt2)

Today’s focus is on "Breathing Out"—being a faithful presence in the world. Philippians 2:14-16 calls us to be a "breath of fresh air" in a polluted society, carrying God’s light into every space we enter.

Following the P.R.A.Y. framework, take a moment to pause and breathe deeply, thank God for the encouragers in your life, ask for opportunities to bring His presence into difficult spaces, and yield to His call to "shine like stars" in the world.

Action step: Read about the work of Tearfund and be inspired by how Christians around the world are shining for Jesus!

Wednesday Prayer Theme: Breathing Out (pt1)

Today, we shift from "Breathing In" to "Breathing Out"—living out God’s presence in our families, workplaces, and communities. Matthew 5:13-16 reminds us that we are called to be salt and light in the world, bringing out the "God-flavors" and "God-colors" around us.

Following the P.R.A.Y. framework (Pause, Rejoice, Ask, Yield), reflect on where you've been salt and light this week, thank God for your salvation, ask for opportunities to share His love, and yield to His purpose for you.

Action step: Explore the Isaiah61 app and challenge yourself to intentionally help others move closer to Jesus.
