This week marks the beginning of Christian Aid week. Throughout the world Christian Aid are continuing to respond to the needs of many in places such as Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. As with everyone else they are adapting their fundraising efforts by having on-line events including a daily quiz and live streaming worship events.
Christian Aid will also be offering an ‘e-envelope’, to help people share the Christian Aid Week story with family and friends, and ask for a donation. Fuller details are available on their website.
We continue to mark the milestones in the lives of our church family members and wish to say many happy returns to Marie Nicolson who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, 5th May; and to May Anderson who celebrates her 79th birthday today, Sunday, 10th May. Many congratulations to each of you!
We continue to pray daily for our church family, their families and those in the community for continued health and strength to deal with the challenges of life in lockdown.
If you are feeling low or struggling in any way please do not hesitate to contact either Douglas, Kirsteen or Naomi simply to talk or for prayer. All calls/texts/emails will be treated in complete confidence. Please do not struggle alone.

This week's online service is delivered by our Parish Assistant Kirsteen. We draw upon Mark 6:10-11 to explore what it means to leave it and shake it off. We hope that God's word brings you comfort in these challenging times. God Bless you.
Week beginning: Sunday 17th January 2021
NEWSLETTER
Dear friends,
We do hope that you are all keeping safe and well negotiating how to avoid the virus, cope with the isolation of another lockdown and navigate your way through the snow and, at times, very dangerous black ice.
There is no doubt this is a very challenging season for us all but we cling to the truth that God is in control and we are so grateful to know our Lord and Saviour does not change, our circumstances may, but he remains the same and we can bring him our fears and sorrows.
During this period of lockdown and beyond, it is important that we know that we are not alone and please remember that those in the ministry team are available anytime, simply for a chat or to pray with you. This is always in confidence.
You may have a specific prayer need or want to share good news. Please do not hesitate to contact them via phone, text or email. (details below)
ONLINE SERVICES
As you are aware we are back to providing online services and our thanks go to Douglas and Kirsteen who, for the next few weeks, will be exploring ways to bring praise, scripture, teaching and prayer to you. We all desperately miss the act of corporate worship and for those of us at home it has been a delight to have the Sunday service available to view. Please do subscribe to the YouTube channel...there is no cost involved, it will simply allow you to know when each new service is available.
This week the title of Kirsteen’s talk is titled “Shake it off”.
CONGRATULATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS!!
Although there is so much difficulty and anxiety at this time we take the time to mark the times of celebration in the lives of our church family members.
Congratulations to Jennifer MacLaren who celebrated her birthday on Monday, 11th January; to Katherine Nicol who celebrated her birthday also on Monday, 11th January; to Jean McGregor who celebrated her birthday, Wednesday, 13th January; to Collette Doherty who celebrated her 28th birthday on Friday, 15th January; and to Mattie Hainey who celebrated her birthday on Saturday, 16th January.
