Worship Sun 30 Jan - 'A rock and a refuge'

WELCOME/
Welcome to our time of worship online for this last Sunday of January. We'll be hearing the words of Psalm 71, written by someone 'grey of hair', asking for God's help, and acknowledging God's faithfulness and love since birth. So, it's a psalm in which we see a long life, lived in faith and trust in God. What might it teach us today?

Having thought there might be a delay in getting the service online, things took a turn for the better!

Many thanks for bearing with me.

Worship Sun 9 Jan 2022: Expect the unexpected

 WELCOME/ Hello and welcome to worship! We've left the season of Christmas behind us and entered into the season of Epiphany - a time of discovery and of revelation. This week, we meet Jesus, standing on the banks of the River Jordan, as he makes the move from his private family life to the beginning of his public ministry.

A couple of notices -
Guild afternoon tea - just a reminder that this has been moved from January to April. There will be no meeting this month. We'll gather again in February and March at the usual time.

#Run 1 000 - Rural mental health - this initiative began last year and is on once again this month. The 4 nations of the UK plus New Zealand will be competing with one another to see which team will manage the most steps over the month of January. This, to raise awareness of rural mental health issues, as well as raise funds for rural mental health charities. Our community outreach worker, Angela has signed up, as well as Crawford's own Jen Craig. If you'd like to cheer them on, make a donation to RSABI in their name - they'd be very chuffed!

Have a good week, stay safe, take care, and God bless

Worship Sun 2 Jan, 2022: 'Look up'

WELCOME/ Welcome in these first shiny new days of 2022. We are still in the season of Christmas - that tree in the living room gets taken down on the 12th day of Christmas, so, the 5th of January... enjoy the decorations and twinkling lights a little more as we travel with the Magi to the stable in Bethlehem.
No church notices today.
Enjoy and be encouraged and nourished by this time of worship.

In the meantime, may you know God's blessing and feel God's presence with you as you journey through 2022.
A happy new year to you all,
Nikki
