Our Prayers
“But whoever would be great among you must be your servant”
Matthew 20:26
Lord, as major world events take place, we pray that you would appoint good leaders. We pray for the American election; for a leader who will be a positive influence in the world. Help leaders to be servants of their people, supporting those affected by disasters and in working for peace in the Middle East. We pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Life & Work
Glasgow Presbytery
Life and Work is the Church of Scotland’s monthly magazine. The March issue has a specific feature about Glasgow Presbytery. On the assumption that this might be of interest to some folk who are not subscribers we have obtained six extra copies. These are available for uplift at the back of the church. If you do take a copy please return it the following Sunday so that others may have the opportunity to read it. Alternatively click on the Life and Work image.
