The second in our series exploring those last books of the Old Testament collectively called the Minor Prophets.Who were they?
What did they have to say about God and about the life of faith?
Do they still have anything to say to us in the 21st century?
Let’s explore them together over the next eight weeks and see if there's more to them than being just old men with long beards.
Last week we heard from Amos, whose name means 'burden bearer', and listened to the uncomfortable message he was called to proclaim to the comfortable.
This week, we're dreaming dreams, having visions, and thinking about 'hope' as we explore the prophet Joel.
and at 6.30pm: Evening worship in Leadhills Village Hall.
We continue our series looking at the lives of Celtic ‘heroes’ of the faith. This week, we'll find out a wee bit about the life of Ita of Ireland, described as 'foster mother of the saints.'
Morag Black will be leading us.
All are welcome to this shorter, more informal time of worship, which will be followed by refreshments and a chance to have a chat.
Don’t forget: save your stamps!Check out our shiny new postbox in the vestibule! We'd be delighted if you used it to pop in any used stamps you may have. The stamps are sent off, bagged up, and sold to collectors, and the funds raised go to the work of both World Mission and Crossreach.
Looking further ahead:
Sun 1 Sept., 10.30am: Communion.
This will be our next quarterly Communion service.
All are welcome to share in the bread and wine at Christ’s table for he invites us all to the feast. Please do let friends and neighbours know.
The Clydesdale Food Bank box will also return over the Sundays of September.
Thanks for your generous support of this community project.
