On Sunday Fraser and Robin led the service with organ music provided by John to lead us in our singing.
Saturday’s Flowers and Music Festival was a lovely event with beautiful, creative arrangements from Milngavie churches and music throughout the day provided by pupils of the Haydock Music School. We were delighted to raise nearly £300 for Water Aid. More photos will follow in a later post.

In the the sermon Robin focused on God’s gift of the sabbath and its role in creating a healthy lifestyle rather than slavish adherence to rules created by controlling groups such as the Pharisees. Jesus challenged them by healing the man with a withered hand on the Sabbath Day and asserting that “the sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath.”
