Worship Sun 25 April - 'An adventure in trust'

WELCOME
Hello and welcome to worship!  
It’s the 4th Sunday of the season of Easter – 
traditionally thought of as Good Shepherd Sunday.
Given our rural context, we'll be picking up this theme, and thinking about the One who is the great shepherd of the sheep, Jesus.

Below, you'll find a slew of church notices, which will also be given within our worship online, so, if you want to skip these for the moment, and go straight across to our time of worship, the WORSHIP LINK IS HERE.

CHURCH NOTICES
Ordination of Janice Reid to the eldership - 
At our in-person service in the church building, we’ll be ordaining Janice into the eldership,
welcoming her to serve on our Kirk Session.
For those who aren't able to attend this morning's service, some of you have asked if this might
be recorded. Janice has agreed to this, and I'll put it up at some point today - I'll edit this post to include a link.  [this is now up in the playlist, so just use the worship link to access it]
Anyway, some very happy and welcome news for our small community.
And I’d ask your prayers for Janice, as she steps into this new way of following in faith,
and in service to Jesus, our Good Shepherd.
Minister on annual leave -
As of tomorrow, I’ll be taking some annual leave from 26th April up to and including 5th May.
For any general parish queries while I’m off, please get in touch with Heather Watt 01899 850211
and, urgent pastoral cover will be provided by the Rev. George Shand via 01899 309400.
Worship this coming Sunday -
Our in-person service will be done ‘in-house’, so thanks in advance to Heather and to Ursula for conducting worship next week.
And here, online, I’ll put up suggested links for those of you who are worshipping in this way.
Christian Aid Week -
Christian Aid week is just around the corner – beginning on Sunday the 9th of May, and we’ll be observing that in both online and in-person worship services. 

These are all our notices.
May you know God's blessing throughout this week, 
Nikki
