Intimations – w/c 30th January 2022

1.     Our Sunday Service is held at 10.45am and is also available online live via YouTube with a recording available afterwards on the website, Twilio phone service (01294 444201) and podcasting channels. It is still necessary to reserve your seat in advance by contacting Mima McSwan on 01294 602410, and it is still equally important to let Mima know if your plans change and you will not be coming as there may be a waiting list for other folk wishing to attend. The midweek Thursday service continues at 10.30am with seat reservations still required.

2.     This Sunday we will celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism for David Macleod. Additionally, we will then welcome David Macleod and Katy Flanigan as members of the congregation.

3.     Next Sunday we look forward to celebrating the baptism of Dylan Chikanya and the service will be conducted by Rev Jim Teasdale.

4.     Articles for the February edition of the Kirkgate Messenger are needed by today please. The magazines will be emailed and posted out later this week. A number of folk have still to renew their postage donations to receive a printed copy of the magazine. Please forward your £9 as soon as possible to Elizabeth McMahon. Additionally, if you would like to be added to the postal list, please speak to Stuart or Elizabeth. We also have a few spaces available for some new advertisers in the magazine – if you know of anyone, maybe one of your frequently used shops or businesses, then please let Stuart or Elizabeth know as well. Prices start from just £40 for a year – that’s under £4.50 per issue!

5.     The Kirk Session will meet on Thursday 10th February at 7.30pm. Details will be sent out with the papers as to whether it will be held in person or via Zoom.
