Please pray for the safe return of Viktor, and for peace of heart for Lidia who will remain with us. Holding them and all their family - here and in the Ukraine - in our hearts and in our prayers.

Our Weekly Prayer

A REFLECTION:
As we journey through Lent, getting closer to the Cross, I leave you with a thought.

The Cross + is the letter “I” crossed out. How often do we hear, “I…I…I….I…” What does crossing out that "I" mean for living a Christian life? I leave you to reflect on that as you walk with Jesus to the Cross and beyond. (KFG)

Donate Online

Church of Scotland ministers are reaching out by phone or online to provide pastoral care and spiritual support to people who need reassurance, hope and comfort. Many are supporting our key workers and their families as they continue to deliver vital services. They are caring for bereaved families amid challenging restrictions.

In addition, many churches are providing critical community services such as running foodbanks and feeding the hungry and homeless. A donation from you can help support the Church's work in your area and ensure the Church is sufficiently equipped and resourced to face these challenging times.

Whether you are a church member who wants to continue to give your regular offering to your own congregation or a friend to the Church who is moved to contribute for the good of your community, we want to help you support the Church in whichever way you feel led.
