The Rector thanks everyone in the congregation who sent him cards, flowers and messages of condolence at the time of his father’s death. He has been immensely comforted and touched by all of your kindness.
We had a speaker from the Mission to Seafarers at Sung Eucharist on Sunday 15 September. We raised £310 for the mission in a retiring collection. Well done and thank you.
Our retreat day at the beautiful Braehead House in September was a roaring success. Gorgeous and peaceful setting, interesting input, sumptuous food and good company, all expertly led by our Revs Jackie and Liz. Watch out for other opportunities to take time out, contemplate and pray.
The process to find a new bishop got underway recently. A preparatory committee will sift applications and call another Electoral Synod in January so that clergy and laity in the Diocese can see and hear for themselves who the candidates are and what their vision for the future is. Keep your clergy and Lay Representative in your prayers as they engage in this vital discernment task.
