Ride on! Ride on in Majesty!
Hark! all the tribes ‘Hosanna’ cry;
O Saviour meek, pursue thy road
With palms and scattered garments strowed.
Ride on! Ride on in Majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, they triumphs now begin
O’er captive death and conquered sin.

Daily Spiritual Exercises: 23 - 27 March 2020
This is a new feature.
As of this morning, the country has started a time of lockdown. This is going to be an immense challenge for us all and, young and old, we are being encouraged to keep ourselves healthy in whatever way we can.
This includes our spiritual health. Fortunately, here we can get useful and inspirational guidance and the attached daily 'exercises' give us a focus.
These can be read online or printed off and If you know of a neighbour or relative who would welcome the material, please pass on the word.
Stay safe and keep well.

Sermons on the Website
Our minister, Nanda, has always been in the habit of posting her regular Sunday sermons on the website. Many of you will already know to find them under "Sermons". They are all still there!
In these fast changing and challenging times when no services of public worship are taking place, she and Alison continue their reflections, but now also include a linking bible reading and prayer.
A well as reading them online, these 'sermons' can be downloaded and printed off - maybe you know a relative or neighbour who would value these words of comfort, hope and inspiration at this time of great uncertainty.
National Day of Prayer: 22 March 2020
The Moderator of the General Assembly, Rt Rev Colin Sinclair, will be joining the Archbishop of Canterbury and other church leaders to issue a call for a national Day of Prayer and Action on 22 March 2020 - which of course, is also Mothering Sunday.
You can read all about this on the Church of Scotland website.

You will all probably be aware that the Scottish Government has advised that people should minimise social contact by avoiding crowded areas and large gatherings, including religious congregations, and smaller gatherings, listing areas which were of concern.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)
God bless,
