Summer Nights: join the walking group this Wednesday at 7pm. We will meet up at the drinking fountain at Milngavie Reservoirs. All welcome to come along for a walk, chat and fellowship.
Bible, Tea & Toddlers: We're delighted that our group will be continuing throughout the summer! It's a friendly, relaxed group where parents and carers can enjoy a cup of tea (and cake!), chat together, and explore the Bible in an informal setting while the little ones have fun playing. Please contact the church office for venue/date details.
Volunteers required:
• AV team: please consider volunteering to help run the audiovisual system during services, especially anyone with computer skills who can run the slides. If you can help, please get in touch with Carla MacAllister or Stephen Thoms.
• Holiday Club: we are still looking for volunteers to help us cover the holiday club rota for the children during the summer period. We do have someone to lead each Sunday but extra help is required. Please contact Matthew, Sue or Alison if you can help.
• Youth at The Way: we are looking for a team to help with the youth during our monthly The Way evening services. Please let Matthew or Alison know if you can help.
The Way: our next evening service will be on Sunday, 26th July. The Way is a relaxed, contemporary evening service where Christians from across the local area come together to worship Jesus. Last month, we were delighted to welcome people from 14 different denominations - a wonderful reminder that, while our traditions may differ, we are united by our faith in Christ Jesus.
On 26th July, we are delighted to be welcoming Rev. Christopher Barlas, minister of Craigowl Church in Dundee who will be launching our new series: ‘Emotionally Healthy Discipleship’. We will explore Saul's failure in 1 Samuel 15 and how God looks beneath the surface of our lives, calling us beyond outward activity into emotionally healthy discipleship, wholehearted obedience, and a deeper relationship with Him.
There are activities for children during the service and of course, doughnuts and hot chocolates are served before the service (from 6.30pm - service starts at 7pm). Whether you've been before or are thinking of coming for the first time, you'll receive a very warm welcome!
