Daily Reflections
Meditative thoughts to start your day
Our Daily Reflections are meditative thoughts written and produced by the chaplaincy team at Glasgow City Mission.
They are shared and circulated internally across the organisation so that staff, volunteers and guests can enter into and engage with a weekly spiritual rhythm. Each Monday morning, a new set of Daily Reflections will appear below and we invite you to join with us as we take time each day to focus on what God might be saying to us in both our personal lives, and as we work collectively to serve the most vulnerable and marginalised communities in the city.

Daily Reflection Videos
Until June 2022 we produced our Daily Reflection material as short, bitesized videos, that would be released each day, first thing in the morning. After some consideration, we decided to terminate the production of the videos and direct our energies to media production elsewhere. The catalogue of videos still exists however and can be found on our Youtube Channel or by using the adjacent video player. Please feel free to use these videos however you see fit.
