Christian Aid

Kiltwalk 2023 April
30th
This
year Jim Stewart and Diane Walker are once again rising to the
challenge of the
Glasgow Kiltwalk to raise funds for Christian Aid. The links to their
JustGiving pages for donations are:
Christian
Aid Week 14th - 20th May
The appeal
this year
is for people farming in Malawi, a country very badly affected by
climate change. It highlights the difficulties which some farmers have
trying to grow crops in drought conditions and contrasts them with
others who have been helped by Christian Aid’s partners to grow crops
such as pigeon peas that can resist drought and enable the farmers to
feed their families and also earn money. Christian Aid is asking us to
help it extend this support as far as possible.
A
flyer will be distributed by the five Bearsden churches around their
parishes with details of this years appeal. This flyer contains the web
link and a QR code for the JustGiving page for the Bearsden churches to
use.
You can donate directly
using this link to the Bearsden Churches JustGiving page
If
you prefer, Christian Aid Week envelopes will be available
in Church for those who wish to donate that way. Please
return these to the Church as there isn't a home collection.
The services
are on our
Facebook
page. We aim to upload a recording of the 10:30 am service
by early Sunday afternoon. All
services are also available thereafter for you to catch up
later. Whilst Facebook will encourage you to 'sign up', this
is not necessary
to view the services. Look for the Videos tab where all of these are available.
If
you know of anyone who does not have Internet access then please let
them know that we also offer recordings of the services on DVD or on a
USB memory stick, please contact the Minister on 0141 942 0507 or by email
at gwilson@churchofscotland.org.uk or the Church Secretary
at secretary@bearsdencross.org
If
anyone you know is unable to access the Internet, and does not
have the equipment to play a DVD or a USB stick, then why not suggest
that they try our phone service? You can dial in
at a local rate number
to hear a recording of the sermon each week. Simply
dial 0141 483 7770
and
the sermon will play automatically.

'Pray

'Thank you for ...'
Prayer Tree for Ukraine:
Worshipers have written prayers and messages on blue
and yellow cards and these were arranged in the pattern of the
Ukrainian flag.
Please feel free to add your
own prayers the next time you are in Church. You can also now
send an email to bearsdencrossprayertree@gmail.com
with heading 'Pray
for ...' or 'Thank
you for ...'. These are only viewable by the Minister who
will then see that these are hung on our Prayer Tree.
