Weekly Intimations

Intimations – Sunday 17th March 2024

Welcome to any visitors worshiping with us this morning. There are large print hymn books and orders of service available from the welcome team. Services are streamed live and can be watched later on YouTube. Please join us for tea and coffee after this morning’s service in the Memorial Hall.

Today we welcome back Colin Mackay deputising on the organ.

This morning we celebrate in the Sacrament of Holy Communion. All are welcome to take part in the sharing of bread a wine, whether a member of the congregation or not. At this point in the service we would invite you to move to the end of your pew to receive the bread and wine.

The retiring collection at the end of next week’s service will be in aid of St Margaret of Scotland Hospice in Clydebank. (Scottish Charity no: SC005623)  St Margaret of Scotland Hospice is the first and largest hospice in Scotland. Since they opened in 1950, the hospice has touched the lives of thousands of patients with advanced life-limiting illness and complex medical and nursing needs, their families, and friends. Several in our community have appreciated the dedication, kindness and support that their team bring to often difficult times in people’s life.

Kirk Session: The Kirk Session meets on Tuesday 19th March at 7.15pm in the Memorial Hall. We are looking for a minute taker for our meeting, you don’t have to be an elder and if you think this is a way you could help the congregation then please speak with the minister or Tommy Gemmill Session Clerk.

Lent Study: The last Lent Study group meeting is on Wednesday at 7.15pm, in the church (tea and coffee from 7pm). The study is called “where the lost things go” and uses excerpts from the film Mary Poppins Returns as a base for Lent discussion. You do not need to attend all evenings, each is stand-alone with its own theme.
