Douglas has also been asked to participate in a Friends of Nitshill War Memorial Watch Party on Facebook to commemorate VE day on Friday 8th May between 2 and 3pm.  There will be a series of videos from Humza Yousaf MSP, Chris Stephens MP, and Councillor David McDonald as well as Douglas’s contribution and short clips from members of the community.

There will be a tribute in memory of all the Service Personnel from across the Greater Pollok area who died during or shortly after the Second World War.  The virtual event will end with a live video from the Nitshill War Memorial where Piper Iain Grant of Barrhead and District Pipe Band will play ‘Battle’s O’er”, joining pipers up and down the country paying tribute to pipers who gave their lives.

We hope that you have been able to enjoy the recent sunny days and admire the beauty of God’s creation.  It certainly seems as if the birds are singing louder these days and we should join with them singing praises to God.  There are many many resources to listen to for Christian worship – some of us are enjoying Songs Of Praise on TV, some enjoy YouTube videos from Hillsongs and other worship leaders but for a quiet time of peaceful worship we would recommend looking up Lynn De Shazo.  We have listened to and sung some of her songs in Church on a Sunday morning and at the Healing Service. There is something beautiful about the way she sings and the lyrics she has written that make one feel close to God as you sit quietly and allow the music to wash over and minister to you.  We are reminded to worship God in all circumstances.  Worship songs are not just for when all is well – the Psalms show us that!
