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 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
November 28th | Ephesians 3: 14-21 |
Tuesday
December 12th | Ephesians 4: 1-10 |
Tuesday
January 9th | Ephesians 4: 11-16 |
Tuesday
January 23rd | Ephesians 4: 17-24 |
Christmas Concert - Tuesday December 12th at
7:30pm
Cathures
Chamber Choir
will be giving a concert of Carols and Seasonal Music in the Church on
Tuesday 12th December at 7.30 p.m., the net proceeds from which will go
to the Glasgow City Mission.
The programme will
include
Carols for both choir and audience as well as choral items including
the wonderful setting of “O Magnum Mysterium” by Morten Lauridsen,
often heard on Classic FM.
Cathures Chamber
Choir is based
in the West end of Glasgow and has been in existence for more than ten
years now. Membership at the moment is drawn from a wide area including
Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.
Entry
to the concert will be by donation at the door, and we hope for a large
attendance in support of this worth-while cause.
Coffee Concert
Saturday January 20th 11:30am
The
first in our coffee concerts in the New Year, on Saturday, 20 January,
will be given by Alasdair Young, who is very well known in Bearsden
Cross Church.
He has given several memorable piano recitals in recent years, which have been hugely enjoyed by our audiences.
His
programme will include works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven from the
centre of the classical repertoire. As usual the recital will take
place in the church at 11.30 am preceded by fresh coffee and home
baking in the small hall available from 10.45 am. Tickets, priced £10,
will be available at the door – cash payments only please. This will
undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the season.

Prayer Tree for Ukraine:
Worshipers have written prayers and messages on blue

Ukrainian flag.
