Zoom
When you are signed in you can ‘Join a Meeting’ (See newsletter for ID and Passcode).
Alternatively you can phone in (Call 0131 460 1196 then follow instructions, entering Meeting ID and Meeting Passcode, followed by hash (#), as instructed).
Whether or not you might like to do this, let’s be aware of the prayerful communion in God’s Spirit that we all share, wherever we are, whether or not we are able to talk, video-conference or communicate with one another.
I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will, I may succeed in coming to you. For I long to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Romans 1.9-11.
This comes with my prayers and blessing, Derwyn

Individual personal prayer, early morning to late afternoon each day
Piano music is played on Fridays 12-12.30pm (not in August)
The church is generally open from early morning to late afternoon every day. Please do publicise this amongst those you know: there must be many people who would value an opportunity to spend some comforting time in prayer, peace and reflection in these times. May our church’s light shine in the darkness.

We meet each Saturday for a half hour session of informal prayer for those within our community and issues which affect our town and community. All welcome.

Holiday Bible Week 2021 ‘Eyewitness’, 2nd-6th August
Holiday Bible Week 2021 ‘Eyewitness’, 2nd-6th August – HBW will have a new format this year! The morning sessions (approx 10-11:30am) will be online on YouTube and Facebook, with all the things we all love about HBW: a mixture of live teaching, songs, puppets and games.
• If you didn’t receive an afternoon place, watch the morning sessions online and collect a free craft pack from the Baptist Church or St James, Thorley on Sunday 1st August.
• Hotline will be at these centres too so your children will be able to have a chat and pray with them if they wish.
• We hope to have these centres available for dropping off children's work through the week, so that Emily and Eddie can have a look - a bit like our usual post box on site!
