Intimations – w/c Sunday 3rd October 2021

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 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.

2.     The midweek Thursday service continues at 10.30am with seat reservations still required by phoning Mima.

3.     Our Harvest Thanksgiving donations are going to support the work of Christian Aid. You can still bring any donations along this week – just have them marked as “Harvest gift” please.

4.     The Prayer Group will meet at the close of this week’s service.

5.     The Kirk Session will meet via Zoom on Thursday 7th October at 7.30pm.

6.     Our informal Zoom chat session will only be held on the 1st Tuesday of every month between 10.30 and 11.30am. The next session will be on Tuesday 5th October. For those without internet access you can also dial in to the chat session on your phone – all the joining details are on the website and in the Messenger.

7.     The October edition of the Kirkgate Messenger is now available to view and download from the church website, and it has been posted and emailed out to all who have requested it.

8.     Blythswood Shoeboxes – Packing of the shoeboxes continues apace. Any further donations of goods or finance are most welcome. The shoeboxes will be uplifted at the start of November, so all donations are required in the next few weeks please.

9.     We will be holding a rag bag collection once again in October, but due to limited space for storage, we are asking folk to only bring their black bags the week before the collection date which is due on Tuesday 26th October. Please note that no books, bric-a-brac, cushions, duvets, pillows or soft toys will be accepted.  Clothing, sheets/blankets, towels and any other material items are acceptable. Any shoes should be placed in a separate bag.

These are all this week’s intimations.
