Intimations – w/c Sunday 16th May 2021
Here are the Intimations for w/c Sunday 16th May 2021
1. Our Sunday service is held in the church hall at 10.30am, with a second service at 11.45am, and our midweek Thursday service is also at 10.30am. If you wish to attend you must reserve a seat in advance by calling Mima McSwan on 01294 602410 as our numbers are still limited. The 10.30am Sunday service will also be available live via YouTube, with a recording available shortly afterwards. The pre-recorded audio service is also available via the Twilio phone service (01294 444201) and all good podcasting sites.
2. Starting this week, our informal Zoom chat session will only be held on a Tuesday morning, between 10.30 and 11.30am. For those without internet access you can also dial in to the chat session using a special phone number – all the joining details are shown in the sidebar opposite and are also in the Messenger.
3. Sunday 16th marks the end of Christian Aid Week, and normally we would have had a lunch or other fundraising event in support of it. As that’s not possible at present, we are asking folk to consider making a donation directly to Christian Aid – details are on their website at www.christianaid.org.uk and in last month’s Kirkgate Messenger.
4. The Church of Scotland’s General Assembly will be held online starting next Saturday, 22nd May, and running through to its close on the following Thursday afternoon. The proceedings will be live streamed and available for everyone to watch on the Church of Scotland website. This year’s Assembly includes a major report on the Tuesday afternoon by the Faith Nurture Forum on Presbytery Plans and the reduction of future ministries.
