Welcome to Worship:  Today we look forward to being led in worship by Rev. Dr . Jamie Milliken. Please make Jamie most welcome

Sunday Teas:  Tea/coffee will be served in the hall following the service.

Next Joint Service:  The quarterly joint service of United Irvine Parish will be held at Dreghorn and Springside Church  this afternoon (Sunday 15th September) at 3.00pm. Communion will be served during the service and afterwards there will be a chance to chat with friends from across the parish over a cup of tea or coffee in the Church Hall.

Coffee Club:   Join us in the Church Hall on Tuesday mornings 10.30am – 12 noon. All are welcome.

Shalom Visit:  The next visit to Shalom Nursing Home will be on Wednesday 18th September at 10.30am. Please come along and join the residents for a time of fellowship over a cup of tea/coffee and home baking followed by a short service of worship.

In our Prayers:  It is with sadness that we announce the death of Pat McNally.  The funeral service will be held in Dreghorn and Springside Church on Wednesday 18th September at 1.15pm and thereafter at Dreghorn Cemetery. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim and the family at this sad time.

Quiz Night:  On Saturday 28th September we will be holding a Quiz Night in the Church Hall at 7.30pm. Tickets, £5 each, are on sale after the service today, at the Coffee Club on Tuesday morning and also from Irene Stevenson (tel: 218189). A fun night for everyone!

Pastoral Care Day:  A Pastoral Care Day will be held in Fullarton ConneXions on Saturday 12th October, 9.30am – 2.00pm (includes tea/coffee and a light lunch.) The day will be led by Rev. Dr. Jamie Milliken and John MacDonald (Pastoral  Assistant) and is open to all who are already involved in Pastoral Care within the parish as well as to those who might be interested in finding out more about   Pastoral Care (without committing to becoming involved). The idea is to do some training, some of which will be a refresher for those already involved in Pastoral Care and an introduction to those who are new to it.                                

Parish Magazine:  A new name is needed for our UICS parish magazine!  Any good ideas? Please submit them before October 31st.
