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.

SUNDAY WORSHIP service
25th APril 2021
Today our Sunday Worship Service is led by Kirsteen Marshall,
our parish assistant.
The theme:"Our Messy Lives."

Week beginning: Sunday 25th April 2021
NEWSLETTER
Dear friends,
We sincerely hope you have been able to enjoy the glorious sunny weather this past week. As restrictions ease and the sun shines it is becoming easier to reunite with friends and family and, as more people receive their second vaccine, confidence will grow, allowing more people to join together at Priesthill Road with the church family.
We give thanks to God that our experience of vaccine rollout in this country has been more than satisfactory but we continue to pray for other nations where the numbers affected by the disease continue to rise and supplies of oxygen and medicines fall.
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
There are a number of rules that must be adhered to when a Church has no minister. Once Douglas retires, it should be noted that only members of the Church will be allowed to sit on the Nominating Committee or vote if a new minister is called. Our Interim Moderator, Rev Calum MacDonald will oversee all the procedures but, in the meantime, if there is any aspect of this process that you are unsure about, please do not hesitate to ask Douglas Nicol or Douglas MacLaren.
We have members of the congregation who have been attending worship with us for a long time but are not actually members. You may have seen in last week’s service, our Parish Assistant, Kirsteen Marshall became a member. If this is something you are interested in, or have been contemplating, please speak with Douglas.
KIRK SESSION MEETING
Elders and Associates are reminded that there will be a meeting of the Kirk Session this coming Tuesday evening, 27th April, at 7.30pm on Zoom, in order to approve the 2020 Church Accounts and also to approve the 2021 Budget. Douglas Nicol will be in touch with the members of the Session by email to provide documents ahead of the meeting.
MINISTRY TEAM
As ever, do remember that if you have any concerns or are struggling in any way, the ministry team are always available to talk or pray over the phone with you. This is always in confidence. (contact details below)
CONGRATULATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS!!
