Bible
Basics, Paul's Letter to the Ephesians
Over
the coming months we will look at Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians in our
series of ‘Bible Basics’.
As
with last year’s series of reflections, we are using video materials
produced by Professor Tom Wright aimed at everyone!
‘Bible Basics’ is intended to be a fairly gentle and non-threatening
entry into Bible Study and is aimed at those curious to find out some
of the basic stories and themes of the Bible.
‘Bible
Basics’ will take place mostly on Tuesday mornings (please note change
of day!) at 10.30am in the Guild Room and will last around 60 – 90
minutes. All of the relevant materials will be provided. Meeting are
planned on the following dates:-
Date | Topic |
Tuesday
September 26th | Ephesians 1: 15-23 |
Wednesday October 11th | Ephesians 2: 1-10 |
Tuesday October 31st | Ephesians 2: 11-22 |
Tuesday November 14th | Ephesians 3: 1-13 |
Tuesday November 28th | Ephesians 3: 14-21 |
Tuesday December 12th | Ephesians 4: 1-10 |

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.
Worship

We
try to offer
a recording of the Church service
via Facebook. We aim to upload the morning service in the afternoon.
Hopefully the recording will be available online around 2:00 - 2:30 pm
on the Sunday afternoon.
Worship
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

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.
