WHILE OUR CHURCH BUILDING IS REPAIRED WE ARE MEETING EACH SUNDAY AT THE MINERAL & LAPIDARY CLUB 11O WALTHAM RD (NEXT TO WALTHAM SCHOOL) AT 10AM.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WELCOME YOU.
Sunday 18th June 2017 Pentecost 2
Call to Worship:
This is our desire: to follow you
This is our choice: to walk along the way of Jesus
This is how we define ourselves on this day: disciples of Christ
This is who we are: Christians
Gathering together as believers with our faults,
Our failings, our doubts and fears,
Our triumphs and tragedies, our quiet joys and our exultant moments.
Some public…some private…
Some obvious to everyone but ourselves
Some known only to our deepest trusted friends.
As we are, we come: declaring by our presence
Commitment to the journey, openness to the possibility of change
Willingness to be challenged to accept healing
A desire to follow the way of Jesus, wherever it may lead
And so we worship.
May the words that have touched our hearts enliven our hearts
May the liveliness of our hearts enable our hands
May the acts of our hands so transfigure our lives
That Jesus is seen by the power of the Holy Spirit
All graced in the love of God our Father. Amen.
Call to Dugald…
Last week our congregation voted to extend a call to the Rev Dugald Wilson. This call is now put before the Alpine Presbytery on Friday 23rd June to be approved. The Presbytery is responsible for organising a service of induction.
Building Report
Our architect is currently working on detailed drawings for the strengthening of the church.
We have been looking seriously at an alternative proposal for the strengthening but have decided to progress with the solution proposed by Structex.
We hope to have detailed architectural drawings prepared by the end of this month. A review of cost will then be undertaken.
We will aim to have a question and answer session after worship on Sunday 2nd July to update everyone.
