Richness, colour and not a little personal prejudice
June 1 2016
Bishop’s Lecture
Bishop Gregor Duncan promises some highly
personal views in June when he presents his
annual lecture on the relevance of our
Episcopalian liturgy to the people around us.
Can it introduce them to the living God? What
about its language, its ceremony, its
symbolism; does it connect or does it alienate;
does it express a relationship with God or is it
an anachronism?
The event takes place on 27th June, 2016, at
Holy Trinity & St Barnabas, Mirren House,
Back Sneddon Street, Paisley PA3 2AF.
Confirmations
On August the 28 the regular church service will be shifted to 3 pm because
+ Gregor will be coming along to the St Oswald’s church family and will
celebrate the confirmations of Linda Allen, Linda and Lucy Hardie. Please
keep them all in your prayers as they prepare to make this commitment to
the Scottish Episcopal church and to Christ Jesus.
SO THERE WILL BE NO 10 am SERVICE!!!!
Birthday celebrations
Also on the 28th after the service and confirmations there will be birthday
cake and sandwiches. We have a wonderful woman in the family who will be
90 and we can help celebrate with her and her family. WHO? Our precious
Jean of course.
And there is more!
This day is also my 1st anniversary of licenced ministry at St Oswald’s. The
honeymoon is officially over and you can at last tell me what you really think
hahahahahaha, but seriously, you know you can tell me anything, ask me
anything and challenge and praise me at any time.
Children’s trip to Troon
St Ninian’s Troon have kindly offered us the use of the church hall on
Saturday the 2nd of July. We have hired a minibus and the children plus
excited children’s ministers will be taking buckets spades, pieces n jam,
crisps and other fine food to the SEASIDE Please keep us all in prayer.
