On Sunday 9 June Bishop Kevin will be with us at Christ Church to help the Rector celebrate his Silver Jubilee of ordination as a priest. On that day there will be an opportunity for anyone in the congregation so desiring it to be confirmed or received. If this is something you might be interested in, please add your name to the list on the table at the back of the church. We are planning a celebration lunch and the planting of a new commemorative tree to replace the one that was recently removed from the church garden. Get the date in your diaries and get signing up!

Our curate Jackie has started leading services at Beechgrove Nursing Home on the last Wednesday of each month at 1.30 pm. Residents and relatives are most welcome.

Congratulations to baby Eilidh Carter (Doreen and Bob Cleary’s grand daughter) who was baptised on Sunday 21 April. Every blessing to her and to her family.

Our curate Jackie along with The Revd Liz Clelland will be launching a new fortnightly initiative called “Brunch and Browse” on Thursday 2 May from 12 noon until 1.15 pm. They will use study materials on a variety of Christian and religious topics. The first three sessions will be led by Liz on the subject of “Art and the Gospel”. The next three will be led by Jackie on the topic of “Prayer”. All welcome.
