Worship Sun 21 May: 'We'll meet again' - Ascension Sunday

WELCOME to worship as we call to mind the ascension of Jesus. We encounter Jesus and the disciples just before he’s taken up to heaven…
It’s a story of mystery.
A story reminding us that, although Jesus is Son of Man, he is also Son of God.

You can go straight to the service over on our YouTube channel by using the WORSHIP LINK HERE.

Or, if you'd like to pause to check the church notices, they're copied below...

John Rudder’s funeral
will be held in the church at 2pm on Tuesday this week, followed by his committal at Leadhills Cemetery. All are welcome to come as we say our farewells to John, and to support his family.

This coming Sunday we celebrate Pentecost. Red is the colour for Pentecost, so why not join in the celebration either onsite or online by wearing something red.
Evening worship will be in Leadhills Village Hall. This month, we're starting the first of our ‘Iconic’ series – where we’ll be exploring God through sacred art.

CHURCH NOTICES
Funeral of John Rudder: for those who've not heard, just to say that our friend, John Rudder has recently died. There’s been a little delay around a date for his funeral but I can confirm that it will now be held in the church on Tuesday the 23rd, at 2pm, and thereafter, his committal will be at 3pm in Leadhills cemetery. If you’re able to come along to the service, I’m sure his family would very much appreciate your support.

 Car boot sale and coffee morning: Looking further ahead: a date for the social diary – a wee community event. We’ll be having a car boot sale and coffee morning on Saturday, the 17th of June from 10am to 1pm. I’ll be getting posters printed shortly for this. If you know of anyone who might like a pitch, Heather Craig will be coordinating that. And, a wee request to our bakers… if you’d be willing to do some baking for this, that would be very much appreciated!! Also, if you happen to have any items you’d be willing to donate towards a tombola, that would be great. As with last time we did this, monies raised will be split between Clydesdale foodbank and the church. 

Have a great week, 
God bless,
Nikki
