News, events, wk beg Mon 28 Oct


Thurs 31 Oct.: Moderator’s visit to Upper Clyde Parish.
The Rev. Colin Sinclair will be visiting Lanark Presbytery during the week.
As part of his time in the Presbytery, he will pay a quick visit to Upper Clyde
and make a circumnavigation of the parish.
While visiting, among other stops on the way, he will attend a school assembly in Leadhills -
Scotland’s highest Primary school, as well as pay a visit to the church in Abington.
You are invited to come and meet with the Moderator at the church over a cuppa
at approx. 2.15pm - a great chance to talk with him about the challenges and opportunities of rural life.

Sun 3 Nov., 10.30am, Morning worship, at the parish church in Abington: 
We are delighted to be welcoming Gregor Wallace Drife into God’s family
through the Sacrament of Baptism
and at 1.45, at Douglas Valley Church in Douglas,
there will be a special service with the Moderator recognising the transition of the Parish into Guardianship.
All are welcome to attend this Presbytery service.

Centenary Poppies Project: 
The Centenary poppies are now available for purchase via donation [min. £1]
All monies raised will be given to both Help for Heroes and Poppy Scotland.
They can be found in the vestibule.

Minister’s time off this week: Tuesday

Food for the journey: spiritual nourishment for the rest of the week...
In the last of the letters in the Book of Revelation 3:20 Jesus knocks on a door, saying:
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. 
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, 
I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
Over the week, write down some of your favourite bible verses, or words
from scripture that are important to you or have helped you.
Simply attach them to a door as a reminder of what you have let into your life
and how it brings you life.
