Worship Sun 27 Feb - Transfiguration

WELCOME/ 
Hello –  today, we mark Transfiguration Sunday: Jesus upon the mountain top, who, in the mystery and in glory, meets Moses and Elijah, while Peter, James, and John look on, in confusion and astonishment.

Church notices are copied below - but they will also be announced within the service online, so feel free to skip them here and listen over at our youtube channel.

CHURCH NOTICES/
 At this time, we cannot be unaware of what is unfolding in Ukraine – and our hearts go out to all who are caught up in this war. We stand with them, and may they be in our prayers... At the end of the service, the final slide gives details of various aid organisations and charities, if you’d like to help the people of Ukraine in some way...
THAT SLIDE IS COPIED HERE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE:

Evening worship - 5pm in Leadhills Village Hall. Prayers for peace.

Sun 6 March - Communion in the parish church. As we don't have the facility to live stream, we can't at this point in time, offer an online form of communion - our apologies.
Food bank - in line with our pre-Covid practice, we are bringing back our food bank box in those months when we have communion. So, for the Sundays of March, if you're in the church building look out for the box in the vestibule. For those of you online who would like to support the work of the food bank, you can do this directly by going to their webpage and make a donation. The food bank link HERE 
Lent begins - Also this week, the season of Lent begins – a time of reflection, of preparation, where we mark a spiritual journey, walking the way with Jesus to Jerusalem..

Worship Sun 20 Feb: 'You've got to be taught how to hate'

WELCOME/ Hello and welcome to worship where we continue on with Jesus' 'Sermon on the Level' and hear his thoughts on how we treat those who are our enemies - so, the theme is 'love', apt given Monday was Valentine's Day!!
Hope that you've all managed to weather the storms this week and have managed to stay relatively intact.

Just a couple of notices this week...
Caring hearts project - our new community project has started, and you can find out more about it HERE on a specially dedicated page. If you're able to help with crocheting or knitting, that would be wonderful.

Sun 27 Feb, 5pm - Evening worship, Leadhills - join us in the village hall at Leadhills for an informal time of worship with a catch up cuppa after the service. All welcome.

Communion 6 March - for those of you able to come to the service in person at the parish church, we'll be entering the first Sunday of Lent with a service of Communion. Please do let anyone you know, who may like to come.
Morning tea - we'll also be reintroducing morning tea in the hall after this service.

Blessings to you for this coming week,

Worship Sun 13 Feb 'Levelling up'

WELCOME/ 
Hello. Welcome to worship!
Today we consider not so much the sermon on the mount but the sermon on the plain – Luke’s version of the more well-known sermon found in the gospel of Matthew.
There's just the one notice – and it concerns a wee project that we’re wanting to get up and running within the church and the wider parish community. It’s called the ‘Caring hearts’ project. 
This focuses on the younger members living in our wider parish community, who go to our five primary schools – and I’m asking those of you who knit or crochet for some help to enable us to do this.
You can find out more about it on our dedicated blog page -
here's the link CARING HEARTS PROJECT

Our WORSHIP LINK IS HERE.

As ever, I hope you find this time of worship an encouragement, 
and also spiritual nourishment.
God bless and may you know God walking with you through the week.

'Caring Hearts' community project

Hi everyone!
I just want to flag up our latest community project - 'Caring Hearts'.
It's aimed to help some of the younger people in our community by way of asking the crafters in the community to take up their knitting needles and crochet hooks. 
To find out more about the project, along with patterns, check out the new, dedicated page above on the tabs or just click HERE and the link will take you there directly.
And thanks in advance for getting on board, folks - very much appreciated.

Worship Sun 6 Feb, 2022: 'Gone Fishin'

WELCOME/
Welcome to worship online where today, we're going fishing with Jesus and meeting some fishermen from Galilee...

A few notices and the link to worship below that:
Guild: the Guild is meeting this week, on Wednesday at 2pm, in the church, and the guest speaker will be Dee Yates, who’ll be sharing her experiences and some of the history of the sacred Isle of Iona. 

Caring Hearts project: Something for those of you who who knit and crochet.
We’d like to make some small woollen hearts which will be given to each of our five primary schools to be used as a resource for children who are going through difficult times:
the idea is that the school staff can give a child one of the hearts by way of helping to provide a little bit of care and comfort. When they hold it, it could be a reminder of someone they love and who they miss, or, to help them know that they are cared for and loved. A wee minding and pastoral care tool, if you like. I’ve got both a knitting and a crochet pattern, which I’ll put up on our blogsite in the near future on a separate page labelled 'caring hearts project' as well as print off copies to pass along. If you’d like to take part in this project, and to help the younger members of our community, do let me – or Angela – know, especially if you need a printed copy of the pattern.

Kirk Session: our kirk session will be meeting this week on Thursday evening at 7pm, by zoom.

May God bless you as you go about your week,
