We look forward this weekend to our November communion season, where we have the Rev. Andrew Allan, of Partick FCC, joining us.

We received the good news on Saturday (8th June) that the McGlynn's have landed safely in Sri Lanka, after a long day's travel. For the first few days, they will be relaxing in Colombo before making their way to meet Rev. Partheepan, our resident Minister in the towns of Vavuniya and Mullaitivu. Upon reaching there, Rev McGlynn will conduct a series of meetings and then Sunday Worship, including a baptism that will be happening in the congregation there. Please remember them in prayer. In June, our Minister and his wife will be visiting Sri Lanka, to give a series of lectures there. As some of you may be aware, the denomination has a congregation in Sri Lanka, based in Vavuniya and also in Mullaitheevu. It is led by the Rev Shanmugam Partheepan and is regularly supported by ministers from Scotland.
In lieu of that, we're thankful and glad to have again, Mr Paul Crowe (NE Scotland Faith Mission supintendent) and Mr Kevin Macdonald, divinity student, with us for the first time. 26th May - Mr Paul Crowe 2nd June- Minister 9th June- Mr Paul Crowe 16th June - Mr K. Macdonald 23rd June - Mr K. Macdonald 30th June - Minister We are grateful to God to have enjoyed together our Communion Season with our visiting preacher, Rev. Kemp, of Scalpay FCC.
Our weekend began with our Bible study, led by our own minister, where we considered the subject of Prayer, probing what we pray for and the need for faith in our prayers. The Saturday evening service was on the theme of the Passover. On Sunday morning, consideration was given to a Messianic Psalm, Psalm 69 and specifically verse 4, thinking of things that Christ restored in His death and resurrection. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was then held. The Sunday evening service was on the theme, "and yet there is room," encouraging all to come in to the feast, as pictured in Luke 14:22. We concluded on Monday evening, with an encouragement to 'hold fast,' from Revelation 3:11. The sermons are available to listen to here. ![]() We look forward this weekend to having the Rev Raymond Kemp with us for our Communion Weekend. Rev Kemp is the minister of the Scalpay Congregation, in the Outer Hebrides, the former congregation of our own Minister. The weekend will begin with our Bible Study, held in the church, and conclude on the Monday evening with a thanksgiving service. All services and info as below and all at the church; Friday Bible Study - from 7.30pm Saturday Preparatory Service - 6.00pm Sunday Morning Service and Lord's Table - 11.00am Sunday Evening Service - 6.00pm Monday Thanksgiving Service - 7.30pm The Session will be open and will be happy to meet with any who would seek to profess their faith in Christ publicly.
