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
16th MAY 2021
Today our Sunday Worship Service is led by Kirsteen Marshall,
our parish assistant.
The theme: "The Joy of the Lord is My Strength."
We apologise that during the recording of this service an error was made and we lost the sound ... up until the last 8 or 9 minutes.
As a result we are unable to post the recording of the service online,
but we do hope that we can re-record
the Talk which Kirsteen gave
as it was very powerful.

Week beginning: Sunday 16th May 2021
NEWSLETTER
Dear friends,
We have now come to the end of Christian Aid Week but there is still time to make a donation. It would be our aim to raise as much money this year as in years past. Please speak to Douglas Nicol or Jess Mitchell if you would like to make a contribution but are not able to come to church in person yet.
MONTHLY HEALING SERVICE
On Monday 10th May Douglas conducted his last monthly healing service. It was a joy to be back worshipping in the Sanctuary seeing old friends and new people too. There was obviously a sense of sadness and loss after the death of Ross Mitchell who played the keyboard at this service so beautifully and we would ask you to continue to remember his parents and brother in prayer. A recording was made of the service. This will not be available online but, if you wish, can be emailed to you. Simply speak to Douglas.
KIRK SESSION
There will be a meeting at 7.30pm on Tuesday 18th May of the Kirk Session. Please pray for the elders and associates......as they gather via zoom and they continue to work together as the congregation prepares for a time of vacancy.
The Session will also be discussing whether or not it is viable to continue recording the Sunday morning service. If you have any interest in IT or would like to learn how to edit the footage and prepare it for the Internet or prepare the PowerPoint for a Sunday morning please speak to either Douglas Nicol or Kirsteen who would be delighted to give any assistance or training.
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!!
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. Please do let us know if you have any good news to share.
Congratulations to May Anderson who celebrated her 80th birthday on Monday 10th May. Congratulations also to Alan and Diane MacDonald who celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on Wednesday, 12th May.
