Worship/ Sun 14 June: 'Confession is good for the soul'

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.

Hello and welcome as we gather to worship the One whose loving kindness lasts forever,
and whose mercy is wider than all of creation.

I hope that your week has been a good one, as we continue on in our time of lockdown.
Given the slight easing of regulations, I also hope you've managed to catch up for a socially
distanced visit - whether in your garden or elsewhere.
As ever, if there's any way I can be of help, don't hesitate to get in touch, and I'll be happy to assist as I can.

We are still some way off, I suspect, to be in a position where we can gather safely together for
worship in the parish church. However, conversations within the Church of Scotland are happening
as we look ahead and make preparations for the time when we can, once again, open the doors
to the building. Lanark Presbytery will be meeting online on Tuesday night, and a further conversation will take place at an online meeting on Thursday regarding the way forward.
I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, I'll keep on with providing worship online via our blog and
YouTube site.

Over the course of June, we're exploring prayer - and in particular, the types of prayer we encounter within our time of worship. Last week, we began with the prayer of adoration. This week, we move on to the prayer of confession, and there's truth in the old saying that 'confession is good for the soul.'

So, let's worship God. Head across to our YouTube channel by clicking on...THIS LINK FOR WORSHIP
