Intimations – Sunday 24 January 2015
After Morning Worship Fellowship : After Morning Worship today Tea , Coffee, Juice and biscuits will be served in the Church. Please stay behind for as long or short a time as you can manage and enjoy a time of fellowship with other members of the congregation and with visitors to our church.
Crèche: There is a crèche in the Church Hall behind the Church if anyone wishes to leave their children there during the morning service.
Sunday School & Youth Fellowship meet every Sunday during the school term, initially in the Church before moving to the Church Hall.
The Ladies’ Bible Study Group meets in the Church Hall on Tuesdays from 10.30 am to 12.00 noon. All ladies welcome.
The Prayer Fellowship meets in the Manse at 7.00 pm each Tuesday evening All are welcome to attend.
Presbytery Social Event : This will take place on Tuesday 26 January at Columba 1400
The evening will commence at 6pm with the serving of the buffet meal, followed by a time of fellowship together and some words from the Moderator of the General Assembly, Rev Dr Angus Morrison, with the plan being that the evening concludes around 8pm.
Kirk Session : The rescheduled meeting of the Kirk Session will be held in the Manse at 7.30 pm on Thursday 28 January.
Church Magazine : The next edition of our magazine is due to be issued for Easter which is very early this year, falling on Sunday 27 March.
We need articles about your memories of Easter in your past, your thoughts on how it is celebrated today, your favourite hymns, poems, humorous stories, etc.
Please submit your items as soon as possible to enable an early start to be made on this edition. Items may be left in the folder in the Front Vestibule or, preferably, emailed to Trevor Dee at trevordee@btinternet.com
Pastoral Visits : The Minister asks that he would be kept informed of any member of the congregation who is ill, in hospital or would welcome a visit from him.
New Communicant Members : Any Adherent who would wish to become a full communicant member of the church should speak to the Minister at the end of the service or contact him by telephone. We would dearly love to see more Adherents take up full communicant membership of the church and take Communion on 27 March.
Retiral Offering : A Retiral Offering will be taken at both services on Sunday 31 January. This collection will go towards the costs of major projects in our church buildings.
Sunday School : Shift patterns and workload associated with full time employment is putting a great strain on the existing Sunday School leaders regarding the teaching of the children on Sunday mornings. If at least two volunteers were to come forward to become involved this would ease these difficulties. It would be expected that volunteers would only need to teach the children on one week out of four.
The Christian education of our younger members is an essential part of their learning experiences and we hope that this call will be answered.
Further information on what is required can be obtained from Kay MacKinnon.
