WELCOME TO KIRKTON As we strive to provide a welcoming environment for all who worship here, all can play a part. Those who have worshipped here for many years can be kind and considerate to “new faces”, speaking to them and making room for them if they appear uncertain or hesitant when looking for somewhere to sit. Newcomers or visitors should feel free to speak to anyone, in particular our Welcoming Elder.
PLEASE PRAY THIS PRAYER EACH DAY
Pray for the General Assembly which started yesterday and will continue until Saturday. Pray for vision, wisdom and guidance for all the important decisions to be made this week and for the ministers and elders in attendance that they will be blessed and glorify God’s will and goodness.
