For general reference, the notices are also copied below:

Sun 5pm 28 Aug: Worship at 5pm in Leadhills Village Hall. This will be a Songs of Praise style of worship, so come along for a good sing! After our time of worship, there’ll be tea and coffee, and a chance for a good blether, so if you’re able to come along, it’d be great to see you.

Sun  4 Sept. 10.30am: Communion This coming Sunday, onsite in the church building, we’ll be having our quarterly Communion service... all are welcome to share at the table of the Lord.
The Guild Dedication will also form part of this service, as it begins a new session for the year...

Clydesdale Foodbank: a reminder that over the Sundays of September, the food bank box will be in the vestibule for donations. For those of you online – if you’re able, you can help by donating using the link below. This is a very practical way of helping our neighbours.

Thurs 1 Sept, 7pm: Kirk session meeting: this will be held by zoom – the main item of business will be the proposed presbytery plan. 

May you be encouraged by this time of worship, and as you move forward into the week, may you feel God, close beside you.
God bless

Worship Sun 21 Aug - 'Unbent'

WELCOME/ Hello – and welcome to worship.
Last week we were singing Songs of Praise, this week, we hear the songs of praise from a woman who meets Jesus at a synagogue and whose life is changed forever.

Just a couple of things to note:
A reminder this coming Sunday, we'll be hosting our evening worship at Leadhills Village Hall from 5pm. And, having had a good sing in the glens last week, we'll be having another in the hills as we hold a songs of praise service there. Come along! Tea and biscuits and blethers thereafter.

As many of you will be aware, there’s currently proposals for change in our area – with the new presbytery plan – there’s a meeting in Lanark on Monday night, and we’ve a wee team going to represent the congregation. Do please pray for us, and our surrounding parishes at this time of change, and for wisdom and kindness to be at the heart of our conversations.

You'll find our WORSHIP LINK HERE

May you know God's presence by your side this week,

God bless
Nikki

Worship Sun 14 Aug: Song of Praise service

WELCOME/ Hello – and welcome to worship on this Songs of Praise Sunday. We’ve got a cracking list of hymns for our time or worship so I hope that you find cheer, encouragement, and joy as you sing along and praise our God, who is so worthy of praise.

If you want to go straight to the service you'll find the WORSHIP LINK IS HERE 

For reference notices are below:
Thanks/ First, a big thank you to Ralph and Ursula for ensuring we had music (on site) over the last couple of weeks while I was away... and to Heather, Willie, and Dee for being the ‘go – to’ contacts. And also, thanks to Rev. Bill Buchan for providing pulpit supply for us. Online, I hope you made use of the links I’d provided over on our blog and enjoyed being able to visit elsewhere while I was off. 

Presbytery plan/ As many of you will probably know, presbytery is in the middle of big changes – and is currently formulating a new presbytery plan. This will affect all congregations in some way and we’ll shortly learn what the thinking is for our area here – this, at a meeting in Lanark on Monday the 22nd at 7pm. Please do keep this in your prayers.

In the meantime, enjoy the service, and may you feel God walking with you through this coming week.
God bless,
Nikki
