As the bible is brought in we will hear part of the anthem
Give us the Wings of Faith by James Whitbourn (1963 – 2024)
Our music for reflection today is Our music for reflection today is The Holy City by Stephen Adams. Composed in 1892 this religious song is firmly anchored the Victorian era and tells the story of Palm Sunday, Christ’s Crucifixion, leading to the last verse which signals hope in a new beginning.

Everyone is welcome.
The offering is being uplifted at the plates at the door thank you.

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland
Tartan Tea Party
This event is to raise awareness of the work they do and to raise vital funds to make sure there is no life half lived in Scotland.
I have chosen to host a Tea Party on Wednesday 21st May from 1pm to 4pm in the Garden Room.
And you are all invited. Tea, coffee, cake, goodies and quizzes will be for sale – all for this very worthwhile charity. Dorothy Blacklock.
CHURCH FLOWERS GOING GREEN
The floral foam used to arrange flowers is particularly bad for the environment. As we are an eco-congregation, I am proposing to arrange the church flowers without floral foam at least twice a month which means we will often have a simple vase of flowers.
There are still several blanks on the flower calendar in the church vestibule. If you would like to donate flowers for a particular week, then please write your name on the calendar. The amount you donate is entirely up to you but as a guide I generally spend £20-£25 per week. Please put the money in an envelope clearly marked “flower fund” with the relevant date on it and place it in the offering plate a couple of weeks before your chosen date. Many thanks. Anne McCrossan.
The Garden Room is open!
Times of opening are 10am to 4pm on Thursdays and
Fridays and 1pm to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
