The following invitation has come from Presbytery.
"We often hear from congregations that "presbytery" is a faceless entity who operate behind closed doors and don't listen to folks on the ground. So, in light of that, the new (ish) Presbytery Clerk, Robbie Hamilton, is keen to meet as many folk within the presbytery as possible and to that end he has organised various Presbytery Roadshows over the next few weeks.
Your congregation is invited to attend one of these on Wednesday 24th April in Barrhead St Andrew's Church at 7.00pm. This will enable congregations within cluster B in the planning process to get to know one another better and to meet some of the presbytery personnel. Present at the meeting will be Robbie Hamilton our Presbytery Clerk, Tim Mineard our Planning/Implementation Convener, Andy Reid our Mission Officer and possibly the new Building Officer, if their appointment has been confirmed by that time.
They will each give a short presentation and be open to taking questions."
All members of our congregation are encouraged to attend this informal gathering
Please let Christine, Helen, Stephen, or Aaron know if you would like to attend.
On Wednesday 1st May the Eco Group present Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s documentary, Legacy. Narrated by Sting, this film, documenting the climate crisis, was shown at COP26.
Watch the film and discuss what we can do to help make a difference.
The next Messy Church is on Saturday 20th April. The theme will be centred around the parable of the sower and new life..
This is for children who enjoy fun, games and crafts, and we finish with a simple meal. All we ask is that they bring an adult with them
If you would like to know more then please speak to Margaret Gibb or any member of the Messy team.
Following the surprise visit of a bat at the end of the service on Sunday 16th March we can now report that the bat has now been safely recovered. It was found extremely exhausted and has been taken to Hessilhead Animal Rescue Centre at Beith. We are just so glad that it is safe and being well cared for.
On Sunday 3rd March Jim Miller presented a gift of a very detailed matchstick model of our Church to the congregation. He took up this hobby in the mid 1990's and this is the 104" model he has made. The model will be permanently displayed in church.
