Worship, Sun 21 March: 'Come back'

WELCOME/

Welcome to worship online with Upper Clyde Parish.

I hope that you’re all doing well, and that, for those of you watching from within the parish, that you’ve managed to enjoy the last few days of glorious sunshine: it really feels like spring has at last sprung!
This week is the 5th Sunday of Lent, and our themes for worship centre upon relationship and reconciliation as we think of the One who in his living and dying and rising drew all people to him...

Our worship link
 IS HERE 

(n.b. while the blog post is published for 10am on Sunday, should you wish to access worship earlier, you can just go straight to our YouTube channel, click on the playlist tab, and just look for the playlist with Sunday's date on it - it's generally available from very late Sat evening or early hours of Sun morning)

NOTICES/ 
Moderator's time for reflection: This week marks the anniversary of the first lockdown on the 23rd of March. In recognition of this, and given the impact that COVID-19 has had on all of us, personally and communally, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland is inviting all congregations to pause for a moment, at 7pm tonight, to light a candle and spend some time in prayer and reflection.
For those of you who wish to observe this, the Moderator has written a prayer, and this will be here on the blog on Sunday the 21st in time to join with others around the nation who, though scattered, will be united in time and prayer...

Lent challenges: Don't forget, that through the week, there are the weekly Lent challenges - both here on the blog, and across on the YouTube channel for our Lego challenge.

Church reopening: As to the reopening of the church building: I'm hoping that I can also give you an update about this next Sunday...we’re still in process, and still in ‘wait and see’ mode!

Easter newsletter: Also, for those of you on the communion roll, keep an eye out for the Easter newsletter - we're hoping that it will be out and with you by the end of the week. Thanks so much to Dee and the team for stuffing envelopes and getting them posted! If you're not on the communion roll, and would like one, do get in touch, we made extra copies just for you!

I hope you find this time of worship a help an encouragement, and a blessing. And may you all have a good week as we head towards Palm Sunday. 

Blessings to you all
Nikki
