On Sunday we had a wonderful evening celebration when Bishop Nick led the service for Stephen’s Ordination as Deacon. It was a joyful and spiritually moving occasion and our prayers are with Stephen as he takes this step forward in ministry.
Next Sunday we have our Harvest Thanksgiving service followed by a soup and pudding lunch.
Please bring the usual harvest contributions that will be donated to Milngavie Food Bank.
Many thanks to all who support St Andrew’s church in so many different ways.
Sunday morning’s readings: Ezekiel 18.1-4, 25-end Philippians 2.1-13 Matthew 21.23-32
Collect
O Lord, may your grace at all times go before us, and follow on behind:
and so continually direct us to good works; through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, world without end Amen
