Notices - Sunday 5 November
Tuesday 7th November
- Youth Club meets in the hall at 7.30pm for young people in S2-S6.
- The Kirk Session will meet on Tuesday 7th November at 7pm in the Seminary Session Room, Francis Street. Please note the change of venue.
- A new study begins this Tuesday looking at Tim Keller’s DVD ‘The Reason for God.’ During the 6 weeks we meet we will be exploring the truth of Christianity and looking, in particular, at the questions that arise whilst contemplating or reacting to situations in life. These initial studies will be held in the Church Hall in Kenneth St. rather than in the usual venue of the Cabarfeidh Hotel. Everyone interested in finding out more about Christianity is most welcome. If you know of anyone you would like to encourage joining us each evening please feel free to come along with them. Most people come to know God through a friend, and this is an opportunity for you to invite friends for an informal, non-judgemental discussion about the truth of Christianity. You are also welcome to come along just to listen. You will not be asked any questions although any contribution you make will be very welcome. There is no age barrier – this will be suitable for young and old. We look forward to seeing you! Tuesday Nights 7 November to 19 December 7:30 – 9pm. For further details contact Cala on 07818076763 or Roddy on 07900807375.
