HOGMANAY FELLOWSHIP NIGHT
For many years the Manse has been hosting an open night of fun and fellowship on Hogmanay. Please don’t be alone this New Year! Come and join the celebration as we welcome a new year of God’s mercy, love and grace.
CHURCH SERVICE RECORDINGS FOR THE NEW YEAR
With the advancement in technology, CDs are now slowly but surely getting replaced by alternative formats (mp3s, online streaming, SD cards, etc). Therefore the Kirk Session has recently agreed to the purchase of small audio speakers to be gifted to our members who presently listen to our church services on CD. The audio speakers have an excellent sound quality and use SD cards (similar to what people use for their cameras). Recording of Services onto SD cards is also an easier and faster process than burning onto CDs. We have a meeting with those on the Sound Desk & those who deliver CDs planned for Sunday 29th December (after the Morning Service), to explain how it will all work. We hope and pray that the new system will be ready for the New Year!
PRAYER CYCLE
This week the Presbytery of Ardrossan invites us to pray for Kilwinning Old Parish, remembering Rev Ross Mitchell and Isobel Beck (DCS).
