COVID Guidance. Resulting from decisions made recently by the Kirk Session, EPC can advise the following concerning church services: - Please continue to use hand sanitisers on entry to and exit from the church. There are areas in the church reserved for those who wish to socially distance and wear face coverings - the Duty Team will assist with this. People are very welcome to wear face coverings in all areas of the church, and encouraged to do so if they wish. Please do not attend church if you have COVID symptoms. Consider getting a vaccine if you are offered this. Take a LFD Test before visiting someone in a hospital or care home. Maintain good hand hygiene.
For after Service Tea, Coffee and Chat - Come to the Carswell Centre!Throughout the Summer Holidays, our Kids Corner will continue to be available for all young people during our worship services and Murdo will be putting on crafts and activities each week!
EPYC for young people from P6 to S6 is stopped for July and August.

We are aiming to set up a fundraising group to explore and recommend ways in which we can raise funds through activities and grants. If you could help by joining this team, and help us to ensure we have the funding we need, then please contact Sheila Lamont by emailing sessionclerk@eagleshamparishchurch.co.uk. The fundraising will be focussed initially on ensuring we have the funds in place for our Youth Ministry Worker contract but will also go on to look more widely at funds to support our activities and infrastructure. This fundraising will be essential for our future so please help if you can.
Our Organist, Alan Gillon, is doing an Organ Recital at Kelvingrove Art Gallery at 1pm on 19th September. The concert is only half an hour and the organ is one of the finest instruments in UK.
Prayer
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.” Ephesians 3:14,15
Thank you, Lord that you are our good Father, and that you care for us and answer our prayers. Please continue to bless the families in our church and community, giving them wisdom and patience in their care for others, whether young or old. Thank you that you also give the lonely a place in your family; may they feel the warmth and welcome of your love. We pray in thanks to Jesus, amen.
