St Andrew’s Milngavie—Sunday 5th April 2026
After our Holy Week services on Maundy Thursday and The Final Hour music and reflections on Good Friday, it was a joy to celebrate Christ’s resurrection on Sunday in the church filled with spring flowers and the Easter Garden.
Robin spoke about Christ being mistaken for the gardener by Mary when she discovered the empty tomb and how our everyday encounters with people may be opportunities to be a seed in bringing them to encounter Christ.
EASTER SUNDAY—the Day of Resurrection!

CONGREGATIONAL QUESTIONNAIRE
Please take and consider a Congregational Questionnaire [yellow sheet and the back of the church or in the hall] to help the Vestry in the search for a new Rector. It has also been circulated via email.
These notices and a summary of sermons can also be found on St Andrew’s Website, usually by the Tuesday of any week https://standrewsmilngavie.church.scot
If you had trouble logging on recently you were not alone, the whole Diocesan system of which we are a part suffered from a catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment belonging to the IT sub-contractors. It is now fixed.
Copies of the April/May Newsletter will be available in church next Sunday, and will also be on the website.
Sadly two long time members of St Andrew’s have died recently.
Fraser Gold and Alan Williams
May they rest in peace and rise in glory
Both their funerals will take place in the week ending 17th April.
