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.

NEWSLETTER
Dear friends,
We praise God today, Palm Sunday, that the sanctuary at Priesthill Road is once again open for public worship.
For those having to remain at home and unable to join us, the service will be recorded and made available at the beginning of the week.
PERMISSION TO CALL A MINISTER
More good news.......................
The Vacancy Procedure Committee of the Presbytery of Glasgow proposes that the vacant charge of St Christopher’s Priesthill & Nitshill should be granted leave to call a minister on an unrestricted basis in accordance with the Presbytery Plan.
The formal intimation to our congregation communicating this decision can be found below this newsletter.
HOLY WEEK SERVICES
This week we are linking together with the congregations of Thornliebank Parish, Carnwadric Parish and Darnley United Free Church to celebrate Holy Week. With limited numbers allowed for Church building gatherings, this year the services will be held via zoom.
Rev Douglas Nicol will lead worship on Wednesday, 31st March, Rev Mike Gargrave (Thornliebank) will lead on Maundy Thursday, 1st April and Rev Jim Gemmell (Carnwadric) will lead us on Good Friday, 2nd April 2021.
You are most welcome to attend some or all of these services, which will commence at 7pm. To avoid confusion, the link for each service will be sent out on the relevant day.
Please let Douglas Nicol know if you would like the links and, if you are unsure how Zoom works, please contact Katherine Nicol (kmnicol19@gmail.com) beforehand and she will be delighted to help you learn how to log on.
