No.137.    13th January

Hi,

Hope this finds you well.

Things are beginning to get going again in church with groups starting and meetings starting new sessions. For example, make sure you don’t miss the details for the Home Groups and the Prayer Meeting has a day and time too.

Enjoy the Magazine,

Hope For Glasgow

The team at Hope for Glasgow have sent in their thanks for the Hope for Glasgow Christmas Eve offering. The exact amount has yet to be finalised but cash given including  gift aid envelopes amounted to £987.95 and with the online giving added it will be a total circa £1,400.
CEO, Terry McCutcheon, is most appreciative of our support as the service is 100% funded through donations.

(You might remember that the offering was focused on the Road 2 Recovery programme HfG run. Here is the link if you are wanting to help this ministry.)


Home Groups - new session

1 peter
 
We start a new session of Bible studies at the Home Groups next weekend. (See dates below)
Have you been involved before? - let your group leader know that you will be coming along and make sure you order a study guide.
Not involved? - speak to Scott or an elder and you will be fitted in to a group. 

These are really important times of fellowship and a great way to dig into God's Word with others...you'll find that people ask the same daft question you had, worry about the same verses you don't understand either, and often have the same prayer needs too. Don't miss out.

bring own cup
We continue to be really grateful to those who provide the tea and coffee after the service on a Sunday - a really good time to wait after the service and catch up with one another. 
And a small reminder that we are encouraged to bring our cups if possible to save on cost and to be eco friendly.

Car Parking

carpark

Can you help?
If you are able, please can you to start using the school car park again as we did pre-lockdown?
Numbers attending services are encouragingly high and it would be really helpful if those that are able could leave spaces in the main car park for those who have greater need.
