Canon Ian Young's message for 28th April 2024
Dear Friends,
SUNDAY
On Sunday, Jesus, the true vine, invites us not just to set our hope upon him, but to make our home in him. So in our worship on Sunday we will celebrate and deepen our connection with the one who has made us, redeemed us and lives in us. In our first reading from John’s first letter, we are encouraged to express the reality of God’s indwelling spirit, by living a life of mutual love that flows from God as its source. In our gospel passage, Jesus uses the image of the vine to teach that fruitful discipleship is only possible through staying closely connected to Christ.
As Sunday is the last Sunday in the month, the service will be at 10.30am
IF YOU CAN, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HOPE TO ATTEND.
THIS HELPS WHEN PRODUCING THE ORDERS OF SERVICE.
QUIZ NIGHT
We’re holding a Quiz Night in Glencarse Village Hall on Thursday 9th May. Just bring along your own picnic supper and pay £5 towards a donation to SISTEMA SCOTLAND which is committed to strengthening communities through music and nurturing relationships. Since their funding has been stopped by local authorities, they have been quite strapped. This charity works with BIG NOISE orchestras of children in Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen. Sue and Alan have some interesting and challenging questions for us.
OLD CHAIRS
This is in connection with the Christmas Charity Fayre to be held in the West Carse Hall, Glencarse on Saturday 23rd November from, 10.00am – 3.00pm. Brian Whitten
has offered to re-upholster any old chairs for the Charity Fayre. You can buy back your chair and give the money to the Fayre or the chair can be sold on the day. The charities are Facial Palsy (Scotland Group) UK and Sistema Scotland – Big Noise orchestra programme for the most challenged communities.
With love and blessings from your friend and Rector,
IAN
