Dear Fellow Members,

Generosity of Giving – Relationships

It’s been 7 years since our “Alive & Giving” Stewardship Programme when we came together in the Town Hall and celebrated our different strengths and encouraged one another to move forward.  Many friendships were re-established and from that many of you volunteered your time, talents and your money to continue supporting the work of the church here in The New Wellwynd.

Since that time we’ve come through the COVID-19 Pandemic, a Cost of Living Crisis as well as Mission Planning and these have highlighted various issues not only in our town, the church but also in our church family.

During the pandemic, we were fortunate to have the technology in place to come together where possible and worship from our homes. Gradually as restrictions eased we returned to in person worship.  However the plain truth is that where before COVID our attendances at public worship was between 250 – 300 members per week, now we are lucky if there are 100 members regularly  in attendance.

Yes, in the 7 years things have changed – we’re all older, perhaps wiser but we have different issues.

For this reason the Kirk Session has agreed to the “Come Together” Event looking at Relationships as part of the Generosity of Giving program.

By choosing this topic, we wish with your help to try and find out more about our relationships as members of the church family.  To establish what the stumbling blocks are as to why folks are not returning to public worship and what actions (if any)  we can take to resolve these issues and build the attending congregation back up.

The event will be held over the six Sundays from 21st April – 26th May 2024 and you should receive your invitation between Sunday 17th and Saturday 23rd March 2024 when your Elder will pop this through your door.

The format of the events will be as follows –

  • 09:30 – 09:45 - Gather together

  • 09:45 – 10:45 - Event Programme (between 09:45 – 10:00 – Serve Light Breakfast)

  • 10:45 – 11:00 – Comfort break and move into Sanctuary for worship

  • 11:00 – 12:00 – Worship

The group realise that this might be an early start – but finishing with worship means that you will be able to have the rest of the day for your normal family activities.

A separate Youth Event will be planned for June 2024 after exams etc..

Complete the RSVP and return it to the church or by post or online – details can be found on the RSVP card. 

Here's a sample of an RSVP Card -

 

 

 

If possible, please return by Sunday 7th April 2024 to allow us to organise catering etc.. 

We are looking forward to sharing fellowship and friendship again at these events.

David Walker

On behalf of the Discipleship Working Group. 

Good morning

Just a reminder of this morning’s in person service at 11:00 a.m. which will also be streamed live.  

We welcome everyone to this morning’s service,  led by Eleanor Hamilton, Probationer Minister.

 

 

As you listen to the music around us, we ask you to

  prepare your heart, mind and spirit as an offering

of our worship together in this sanctuary in a time of stillness.

Help Needed – Offering Rota Team

We are looking for volunteers from the congregation to form an ‘Offering team’ to help with the counting of the offering on a Sunday morning after the service.  This is planned to be on a rota basis.  The more volunteers we get, the fewer occasions you will have to assist.

The offering team has not been in operation since ‘lock down’ but now we urgently require assistance for the counting of the offering and your support will be greatly appreciated - the more the merrier.

Please contact Andrew Paul (on a Sunday or message on 07541129193Andrewjpaul.65@gmail.com) if you are able to assist and join our Offering Rota.

Go on - be a part of it

BEATSON CONCERT – SUNDAY 25th FEBRUARY 2024

@ 4:00 P.M.

 

Robbie’s dream was to have the RSNO in some shape and form performing in The New Wellwynd and this germ of an idea has come to life in partnership with the RSNO and Beatson Charity.  Robbie, like many, is indebted to the Beatson for their care and expertise in difficult times. 

This memorable, perhaps even once in a lifetime opportunity, is taking place on the afternoon of Sunday, 25th February. 

The link takes you to the RSNO website where you can purchase tickets online.

ADVENT CANDLES

Our Christian colleagues in Bethlehem tell us that this Advent and Christmas in Bethlehem the lights that normally adorn the birth place of Jesus will remain unlit in memory of those who have been killed in the current conflict. The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem have noted that the traditional festive services in the Holy Land will be sombre in nature due to the ongoing war.

The second candle on the Advent Ring represents peace, and in some traditions is known as the ‘Bethlehem candle’.

This Advent, along with churches across the United Kingdom, we have been asked to do something ‘out of the ordinary’ and not to light the Advent Candle on the second Sunday in Advent and on subsequent Sundays in solidarity with the Churches in Bethlehem.

Dear Friends,

Due to external works replacing a telephone pole on the periphery of the property, the BT sub-scontractor had to remove internet access just before the start of morning service.

Unfortunately this was beyond our control.

We have managed to record the service and we will hopefully be able to load into the "Watch Again" area of the website, but this might take a couple of days to organise.

Please check the "Watch Again" on the website for the link.

Apologies for any inconveneince.

PRESENTATION TO ROBBIE AND CAROL

At the conclusion of worship on Sunday, 8 October, presentations were made to Robbie and Carol to mark 22 years of faithful service to The New Wellwynd.  The total raised by donations from the congregation was £4,635; the specially commissioned preaching scarf for Robbie and item of jewellery for Carol was paid for from these donations and balance paid over to them.

The following day, Robbie wrote as follows:

Carol and I would like to thank the congregation for their kindness and generosity shown in the gifts given to us yesterday.  We are still getting our heads around the extent of their generosity!  Although, in many ways, I shouldn’t be surprised because, as I mentioned yesterday, The New Wellwynd has been generous in the gifts of the people in the worship, work and witness down through the years as I know it will continue into the future.                                                                                                       

We have enjoyed a warmth of welcome, a depth of friendship and level of commitment for which we will be eternally grateful supporting us personally but also supporting the work of the kingdom.

I will miss so much about The New Wellwynd but, in particular, the worship which I have thoroughly enjoyed.  It has been a privilege and an honour to be part of the team these past 22 years.  I have also enjoyed the banter as well!

CHURCH CALLS ON MEMBERS TO PRAY FOR PEACE IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE

The Convener of the Assembly Trustees of the Church of Scotland issued a statement last weekend in response to the violence in the Holy Land.

“We are horrified by the situation currently occurring in Israel and Gaza, and the wider areas. The sudden attack by Hamas on Israel, 50 years and a day after the Yom Kippur War, came at a time when many Israelis were celebrating the end of the festival of Succot.

"At this time, our prayers are for all of those affected by these horrendous events. They are with the families of those killed, both in Israel and in Gaza. They are with those who have been taken hostage. They are with those dealing with the decisions to be made in the days ahead. With two Mission Partners and 160 locally employed staff, our prayers are also with them and their families, and they are with all whom we know in both Israel and Gaza.

"There can be no peace without justice, and we all must do what we can to bring justice to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including Gaza.

"The coming days are crucial as decisions are made which can either start the route to peace and justice, or lead to revenge and devastation, and much weeping and mourning. This war feels like a breaking point. There is a context to all the attacks which is important, but there is no justification for them.

"We urge all in our Church to unite in prayer for the people of Israel and Palestine. We condemn the attacks by Hamas, and the ongoing violence and killing. Our Church has long spoken out about the need for justice for all people in that land so that everyone can enjoy a future which is peaceable and just. No-one should live in fear of attack or kidnap; war and violence will only lead to more death and destruction. 

"Alongside the voices of our partners in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, and the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem, and with the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, we agree that a just peace will bring, 'a secure future through which Israel and its people can live in security within its internationally recognised borders, and Palestinians have their own state and live in their lands in security, and with peace and justice.'

"Let us pray for that peace which will offer new opportunities for justice to prevail so that all the people in the region may live in peace."

EMMAUS Part 1 - Exploring the Faith Together

We are exploring the basics of the faith.

  • What does it mean to believe?
    • What do we believe in?
      • Who do we believe in?
        • Why does it matter anyway?

The exploration of the theme will continue on a Wednesday evening at 7.30 p.m. in a Study Group allowing time for your questions that together, we might grow in our understanding of God and our love for him in and through a relationship with Christ.

AN INVITATION TO VISIT MAGGIE’S AIRDRIE

 

Following our successful support of the Maggie's Centre in Airdrie leading up to Christmas as our chosen charity, we've received the following letter and invitation -

 

Happy New Year from Maggie’s

First, we would like to say a monumental thank you to you all for so generously supporting Maggie’s through your Christmas Eve collection (and enjoying Rev Robbie’s marmalade I believe!) and helping to raise a phenomenal £1386.00 to help support people affected by cancer throughout Lanarkshire.

We would like to extend an invitation to you to visit the Maggie’s Centre for your interest and to allow you to get a better sense of what we do here at Maggie’s.  You are warmly invited for a cuppa, a biscuit and a tour anytime on Wednesday 25th January 5pm-7pm.  It is a lovely opportunity to see the building which we are so proud of, and to hear a little more about what type of cancer support we offer.

It is very much a drop in session so any time between 5pm and 7pm and we shall put the kettle on!

We look forward to seeing those of you who can come along.

With many thanks for your kindness to Maggie’s

HARVEST APPEAL – TEARFUND

The head of Tearfund Scotland (Scottish charity number SC037624) has recently written to New Wellwynd expressing thanks for our donation of £1,006 raised on Tearfund’s behalf last month during Harvest.  Thanks to our generosity, Tearfund’s local partners are able to reach people in differing parts of the world with tools and training to help them break free from poverty.  For example, in Nepal, partners are investing in communities affected by the climate crisis, equipping people with the skill they need to train as farmers and earn an income.  In the long-term, this means that families can become self-sufficient again.  Villages will be returned to thriving communities, with families being able to stay together, reach their full potential and flourish.  Tearfund thanks us for choosing to show God’s love to those in need during this year’s Harvest season.

This is the final week for this request to the congregation.

Coatbridge, Airdrie and Monklands Rotary Club are asking for your help.

We are organising a project called “Wrap up Lanarkshire”. We are collecting warm winter coats and jackets in good condition to distribute through our partners “Diamonds in the Community” to people in our community who need but are unable to afford this type of clothing.

It is particularly important at this time of greatly increased fuel cost where people have to choose between heating and eating. Can you search your wardrobes and pass on anything you have not worn for a long time, to someone who desperately needs it?

Please put your donations in a plastic bag and bring them to the large hall where I will collect them at the tea fellowship table.

Coatbridge, Airdrie and Monklands Rotary Club

Coatbridge, Airdrie and Monklands Rotary Club are asking for your help.

We are organising a project called “Wrap up Lanarkshire”. We are collecting warm winter coats and jackets in good condition to distribute through our partners “Diamonds in the Community” to people in our community who need but are unable to afford this type of clothing.

It is particularly important at this time of greatly increased fuel cost where people have to choose between heating and eating. Can you search your wardrobes and pass on anything you have not worn for a long time, to someone who desperately needs it?

Please put your donations in a plastic bag and bring them to the large hall where I will collect them at the tea fellowship table.
