St Valentine’s Day is upon us. So, our worship this week is dedicated to the One we love…
To go straight to YouTube for our service, the WORSHIP LINK IS HERE.
And, for ease of reference our church notices follow below:
CHURCH NOTICES/
Presbytery plan -
'Cluster conversations': on Thursday
evening at 7pm there’ll be an online conversation with our neighbours from the Douglas
Valley congregations, and from Cairngryffe. This will focus in on exploring
ways of looking to the future and how we might better work together – and underpinning
all of this is the potential presbytery plan. This meeting is open to anyone within the
congregation to attend, so if you’d like to join and hear what’s happening, and
have your say, do let me know – you can join either by computer, or, use your
phone. I’ll give you the details you’ll need to do so.
Following that meeting...
There will be further opportunities for more informal conversations within our own congregation and community over the weeks following. These will help
feed into the next joint cluster conversation - which will be held in a further 4 week's time at 7pm, Thurs 16 March…
So: what are your hopes and dreams for our parish as we look to the future… here’s
your chance to reflect and pray and have your say!
Possible Lent discussion group: I know this is rather late in the
day...
If anyone would be interested in having the opportunity to form a discussion group over the weeks of Lent, do let me know.
We’ll either meet in person or online, or, find a way of doing both… a
hybrid meeting, if you like. I’m looking at a book by Sheila Cassidy as a
possible base for discussion, and it’ll cost £5.99. If you’d like me to order a
copy for you, just get in touch and I can arrange it.
Easter newsletter: we’re now in the early stages of preparing our Easter newsletter, and as ever, we're on the lookout for items you might like to share. If you’ve particular memories of an
Easter past, or a favourite Easter hymn you’d might like to share your thoughts
on, or anything Easter related – quizzes, puzzles, a prayer or poem or
favourite food or recipe do get in touch with Dee Yates, our editor, or myself
– we’d be delighted to have your input! You can get in touch using the 'contact us' form to the right side of the blog page. For those of you who join us online from overseas - perhaps you have a favourite Easter tradition you'd like to share with us - we'd love to hear from you.
The deadline to get items in is by 1pm
on Sunday the 12th of March – so, in four week’s time.
The newsletter will hopefully be out and available the week before Palm Sunday... and online shortly thereafter. (if you look above at the various tabs, you'll currently see 'Christmas newsletter' - the Easter newsletter will have its own dedicated tab).
As you move into a new week, the Lord bless you and keep you, and may you walk in the knowledge of God's love.
Nikki
