Sun 13th Sept: Edict for Subscribing to the Call

From Rev James McNay, Interim Moderator:

Click here to download a pdf of the Edict that James also reads out in the video below

Click here to download the Mandate Form

Firstly I would like to thank you for voting in such large numbers in the week following Nigel preaching as Sole Nominee. It was most encouraging to receive so many votes from you, and it is great to know that we have your support as we move forward.

We have one more thing to ask of you now. We are required to collect signatures of members and adherents under this heading:

“We, members and adherents of the Church of Scotland and of the congregation known as Ardrossan and Saltcoats Kirkgate Parish Church, being without a minister, address this Call to be our minister to you, Tichaona Nigel Chikanya, of whose gifts and qualities we have been assured, and we warmly invite you to accept this Call, promising that we shall devote ourselves with you to worship, witness, mission and service in this parish, and also to the furtherance of these in the world, to the glory of God and for the advancement of His Kingdom.”

We would like as many of you as possible to come and sign this Call. A Paper of Concurrence will also be available for signature by any person who is connected with the congregation but whose name is not on the Electoral Register of the congregation. It will be available at the Church hall on Sundays 20th and 27th September if you are at the morning services on either of these dates. It will also be available at the service on Thursday 24th September. In addition it will be available on Monday 21st, Wednesday 23rd and Friday 25th September from 2pm until 3pm, and on Tuesday 22nd, Thursday 24th and Saturday 26th September from 11am until 12 noon.

Should you wish to sign but be unable to attend on any of these occasions there is a Mandate attached which you can print off, sign, and return to Vivien Bruce, 57 Dockers Gardens, Ardrossan, KA22 8GB. If you do not have a printer or internet access you can phone Vivien on 01294 605113 and ask for a Mandate to be sent to you. Once Vivien receives your Mandate the call will be signed on your behalf.

Best wishes to you all at this exciting time for us.

James McNay
