Intimations – w/c 4th April 2021

Here are the Intimations for w/c Sunday 4th April 2021

1. Thank you to everyone who has watched or taken part in our Holy Week services – you can still view them all on our website, Facebook page and YouTube Channel. Also thank you to everyone who helped to fill up our daffodil cross at the front of the church – it looks lovely.
2. Our Sunday service is in the church hall at 10.30am, with a second service at 11.45am. As before you must reserve a seat in advance by calling Mima McSwan on 01294 602410. The 10.30am service will be available via YouTube only, with a recording available shortly afterwards – viewing details are on the website. The pre-recorded audio service is still available via the Twilio phone service and podcasting sites.
3. Our short midweek Thursday Services will resume on Thursday 8th April at 10.30am, again with the requirement that you must reserve a seat in advance by calling Mima McSwan on 01294 602410.
4. Our informal Zoom chat sessions are held on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings every week, between 10.30 and 11.30am. Joining details are on the website and in the Messenger.
5. The April edition of the Kirkgate Messenger is now available on the website and has been posted and emailed out to folk who have requested it.
6. The April edition of the Kirkgate: By Request programme, which has plenty of Easter music, will be available from 7pm tonight across all our channels.
7. Afternoon Tea – Given that restrictions on large gatherings and social events are going to be continuing for some time, the Kirk Session thought that it would be a nice gesture to provide every member of the congregation with a small afternoon tea, courtesy of the church. The afternoon tea will consist of a round of sandwiches, a sausage roll, a scone or piece of fruit bread and a couple of small cakes.

   Due to the number of afternoon teas that are required to be delivered, we are going to be splitting the delivery of them over three weeks, on the morning of the following dates:
   ARDROSSAN / SEAMILL – Wednesday 21st April
   SALTCOATS – Wednesday 28th April
   STEVENSTON / KILWINNING / IRVINE / DREGHORN – Wednesday 5th May

   If you have any special dietary requirements (eg Vegetarian / Vegan / Gluten Free / Diabetic etc), or if you know that you won’t be available to receive the delivery, then please contact Margaret Cassidy on 01294 605535, mobile: 07833 348947, or by emailing her on m-cassidy2@sky.com BEFORE 16th APRIL.

   If we don’t hear back from you by the 16th April, we will assume that you are happy to have an ordinary afternoon tea and will be available to receive it on the appropriate date listed above.

   It would also be great that when you receive it, you maybe take some photos of yourself enjoying it, and send them to messenger@kirkgatechurch.org.uk so that we can share a selection of them in the church magazine.
