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, 1st NOVEMBER 2020
Today, following our return six Sunday ago, we continue to worship in the sanctuary at Priesthill Road at 11.00am.
Week beginning: Sunday 1st November 2020
NEWSLETTER
Dear friends,
We sincerely hope that you are well and managing to navigate your way through all of the latest lockdown regulations. The clear message coming through is that our Christmas celebrations, both as a congregation and as individuals are going to be very different this year. We are currently making plans and looking for ways to stay connected through the advent season and we will be keeping you updated as these plans unfold.
REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY SERVICE
Next week is our Remembrance Sunday Service, which means we will begin worship at Priesthill Road at 10.45 am.
Douglas Nicol had ordered a wreath and one of our Elders, Pamela Caskie, was going to represent the Church and attend with many other organisations at the War Memorial on Nitshill Road. Unfortunately a directive has come down stating that we cannot participate in this kind of activity so the wreath will simple be displayed in the Church on Sunday morning and after the service Douglas will make his way to the memorial and lay it then.
HEALING SERVICE
Our monthly healing service will take place on Monday, 2nd November 2020, at 7.45pm via Zoom. This month’s service is entitled “Community Transformation – When God comes to town.”
If you wish to attend, please contact Katherine Nicol at KMnicol19@gmail.com and she will send you a link.
Everyone is most welcome to attend whether you have joined us before or not, whether you have a healing need or not, please know we would love to see you for an informal time of worship and teaching.
MINISTRY TEAM
The ministry team are available to talk and/or pray with anyone from the congregation or Parish who is struggling with any of the issues that surround us at the moment. Please know that all these calls are dealt with in the strictest confidence and whether you have been a Christian for a long time, a short time, or never made that commitment, please remember that we have a loving Heavenly Father who urges us to cast our cares to Him. The promises of the Bible are as true for today as they were when they were written and Jesus died and rose again that we may know life in all its fullness. There was never a promise that the journey would be easy but we have the gift of one another so please do not hesitate to call any of the numbers below.
CONGRATULATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS!!
Although there is so much difficulty and anxiety at this time we want to take the time to mark the times of celebration in the lives of our church family members.
Congratulations to Cameron Buchanan who celebrated his 59th birthday on Monday, 26th October; to Helen Wallace who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, 27th October; and to Diane MacDonald who celebrated her birthday on Saturday, 31st October. Many Happy Returns to you all!
