Worship/ Sun 24 May: Jesus at prayer


Hello, and welcome to online worship. 
Our time of worship explores John 17:1-11, where we find Jesus at prayer -
and we get to overhear his conversation with God...
If you've ever wondered who and what Jesus prays for, you may just find out today!

As we've been doing over this last wee while, you'll find the service in a format of 'rolling' clips
on our YouTube channel. Just click on the worship link and you'll be taken across there to our
worship playlist for the 24th May.
All you need to do is click the box at the bottom right hand of the small viewing screen to
enlarge the picture, then sit back, and enjoy a time of worship.
Thanks go to Ursula Baillie this week for doing our reading.
Before you click on the link, there are some church notices below, and a link for some all-age,
family-friendly worship activities to access.

Church notices/
Pastoral/
First, I hope you're all well, and that you've been managing this long spell of staying safe at home.
If there's any practical or pastoral assistance that you, or someone you know, might find helpful,
as ever, don't hesitate to get in touch - 01864 502139. And, don't forget, I'm authorised to do
food bank referrals as needed.

Worship with the Moderator/ 
This coming Sunday marks the end of the season of Easter - it's Pentecost Sunday.
And, in a change from our now regular pattern of online worship, we, along with all
the parishes within the Church of Scotland, have been invited to join in sharing online
worship with our new Moderator. PLEASE NOTE THE START TIME IS 10.am for the live stream. By Saturday evening, I'll have the link posted up here on
the blog, along with any particular church notices to be aware of.

Minister's time off/
Because it's a rare opportunity for me to not have to prepare for worship this week, I'll be
trying to take a little time out for myself this week, so I can do a little work on my book.
While I'll obviously still be in the manse due to lockdown, I'm aiming to be off duty Mon-Fri unless any pressing matter comes up, and you need to be in contact.

Looking ahead at worship/
Over the course of Sundays in June, we'll be picking up on the subject of prayer, considering the
types of prayer we find in public worship.
Also - if you have any particular hymns you'd like to hear and sing along to, do let me know and
I'll try to accommodate your wish! I'm hoping that we might try for an online Songs of Praise
service - probably at the beginning of July. So, get in touch and nominate your favourites for
inclusion!

And finally...

All-age, family-friendly resources/
Age accessible prayers and activities to complement today's time of worship can be found at
this ALL-AGE LINK HERE 

Hope you enjoy worship, and that you have a good week.
May you feel God's presence close by,
Nikki...
