Keep warm and safe today... FYI the Coop in the village is closed as it had had no deliveries this morning. Perhaps check on folk who can't get out of the house if you can!

Sunday 25th of February at 10.30am Morning Service. On this second Sunday of Lent we'll be reading Mark 10:32-52 and asking: Who do you think you are? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+10%3A32-52&version=NIV

Friday 23rd of February from 12 noon The Terrace is open for a wonderful soup lunch. Everyone welcome.

Who do you think you love? We begin our journey through Lent by reading Mark 10:17-31 - the story often known as the one about the 'rich young ruler'. You are welcome to join us on Sunday 18th of February at 10:30 am in St Machar's Ranfurly Church. This will be an all-age service so if you want to be involved, turn up early! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89AcQdsDXKA

At the beginning of Lent perhaps you may want to resolve to study and reflect more. Why not read through a Bible book (or one a week!), pray the Psalms daily or study a topic. For those of you with interest in science and religion debate: this is a great website for exploring how the Christian faith can be reconciled with the theory of evolution with a number of articles by prominent scientists and theologians ...https://biologos.org/

Something to mull over on the a Monday morning.

We go forth, encouraged by God... We read the account of Jesus' transfiguration this morning from Mark's gospel 2:2-9. I wonder how this experience encouraged and confirmed Jesus in his journey to the cross.

Pioneer in her day!

Exploring Faith group on tonight at 7:30pm in the Millennium Room at St Machar's Ranfurly Church. Join us if you would like an opportunity to speak about the Christian faith, doubt and everyday living!

Endings as beginnings

Come and taste that the Lord is good! Communion service this Sunday 10:30 am. With Junior Church. Everyone welcome. Reading Mark 1:21-39 with emphasis on verse 35: 'Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.' How can we set aside time and place to enjoy being in the presence of God?
