Sunday worship/ 26 April: On the road

WELCOME/
Hi - welcome to UCPC online worship: whether within the Parish or elsewhere,  whatever time you may be joining in, it's good to see you here. Even though we can't meet face to face, and even though we're physically scattered/ socially isolating, we are still a part of Christ's body, and still a community albeit, gathering in a slightly different format for the time being.

Today, something of an experiment! We're going to try to do a 'rolling' style of worship over on our YouTube channel [yes, we do have one, we just hadn't really done much with it!].
If you click the link below, it should take you there and you'll find the playlist for worship 26 April. It's set so that each wee clip should follow on automatically and play in order. Don't forget when you're looking at the viewing panel to enlarge the video by clicking on the box below the video screen to your right - it'll make singing along to the hymns a tad easier!! Also, apologies for the occasional flashes of blinding light during the sermon... I hadn't quite moved round with the sun! Bear with me as I continue to learn and get to grips with the tech! :-)

For those of you with younger ones at home, before you click the YouTube link, scroll down to the bottom of the blog post and you'll find some worship accessible activities for all-ages.

Also, below, you'll find a couple of church notices...

In the meantime, the Order of Service is below...
And... if you CLICK ON THIS LINK it will take you across to our time worship
where all the elements of the service - hymns, prayers, sermon etc will play one after the other in the correct running order as if you were at Church.


WELCOME..

hesitate to get in touch with me [Rev. Nikki]. And, if you just want a wee blether, that's okay too!
At the moment, I'm also able to go to the store to collect and deliver prescriptions if needed, so let me know if I can be of help with that. My phone number again is 01864 502139

referrals to Clydesdale Food Bank. If you are in need of the service, please do get in touch -
and, if you know someone who could do with the help, please pass my contact info. on to them.
Also, if you happen to be passing by the front door of the manse on your daily exercise, or essential travel, and you have items you'd like to donate to the food bank, feel free to drop them at my front door and I can organise a pick up when they next come through this way.
Alternatively, you can make a donation to the work of the food bank via their website -
