Welcome to our Church. If you wish to know more about our activities, or any other matter, one of the Duty Team at the door will be delighted to help. Our Prayer Group meets each Sunday morning at 10.30 in the Carswell Centre. Please come either regularly or occasionally. Church Builders - meets on Sundays for songs, stories, games and more and everyone from Nursery age to P6 is welcome. We start in church and then move up to the Carswell Centre for our own time together.

Our Midweek Service takes place each Wednesday at 11am in the Carswell Centre. John Lloyd is leading worship on Wednesday 19th February. We always finish with tea, coffee and a natter. EPYC - our Youth Group - meets on Sunday evenings from 7pm to 8.45pm in the Carswell Centre and is designed for all those in P7 and high school age. For more information, please contact James Edgar: jamesedgarepc@gmail.com Every week EPYC finishes with some hot chocolate and biscuits and the leaders believe making the hot chocolate would provide a great opportunity for Church members to get involved in the life of EPYC. Would you be willing to come and see what we do and then make the hot chocolate for our young people? Please contact James Edgar: jamesedgarepc@gmail.com. We are hoping to restart the church crèche with a new angle - it will be called "Tots Praise" and involve some free playtime with toys and games, music and a bible story. We need at least 8 volunteers. If you are willing to donate some time and get involved, please contact Catriona Edgar . You do not need to be a parent or grandparent to get involved! Parish News.

Reports, plans, reflections, photos - anything you would like to say or bring to the attention of church membership. Welcome Cards - Please note that the pew welcome cards also have space to write details of anyone you know of who is ill or would like contact from the church. This can help in maintaining good communications during the vacancy. Thank you for assisting in this.

Prayer “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.” Psalm 130:5 Lord, you promise to be with those who wait for your answers. We pray for all those who are waiting for the outcome of tests; for a new baby; for the end of life; or for the outcome of an enquiry. Grant us patience and perseverance as we wait to see the future for our congregation, knowing that your plans are good. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
