Hello everyone,
I am pleased to say we survived the Ride & Stride last Saturday and big thanks to all those who sponsored us. Please keep reading for news about what is happening over the next few weeks, including a Family Fortunes night a week today. Please note there will not be an email for the next two weekends and the livestream links for 29th September and 6th October are included below, so don’t delete this email if you are going to need those links.
I must begin however with a prayer request for Margaret Freeland who is in hospital with a blood infection and Margaret has become very anxious about falling – please pray for healing from the infection, peace to replace anxiety and a restoration of confidence.

Alpha
We are looking forward to the Alpha course that will be starting next month. If you would be interested in joining it, or know someone who might be, then do let me know. Alpha is an introduction to the Christian faith, suitable for people who want to establish some spiritual foundations and for those with no previous church experience, so it is great course to invite friends and family to, especially as you can attend with them. We expect the group to meet on Thursday evening so do keep that night free if you are interested in joining.
Riding Lights Theatre at St Columba’s – Tuesday 15th October
We are hosting a performance by Riding Lights of a new production “Cups on a String” in association with the Christian education charity Transforming Lives for Good. This will be happening in the church at 7.30pm and there are flyers available in church for you to give to friends and family who you think might be interested, which could be anyone concerned for the mental health of young people, either as a parent, carer, teacher, Christian…More details are on the flyer and tickets can be bought now by going to this link:
