Click on Scripture Lessons below for study links and resources: II Kings Ch. 5 verses 1 – 14 Psalm 30 1 Corinthians Ch. 9 verses 24 – 27 Mark Ch. 1 verses 40-45 Speaking Christian Over the next 18 months sermons will be based on the book ‘Speaking Christian’ by Marcus Borg. We will publish the chapter numbers being considered in advance in both the Intimations and in the Orchardhill Record. In order to deepen your learning and to get the most out of the sermons it would be good if you read the relevant chapter in advance. Copies of the book, £10.00, are available after the service in the Church Hall or from the Church Office.
On Sunday 12th February Chris will be using Chapter 1 entitled ‘Speaking Christian‘ and on 19th February Chris will be using Chapter 5 entitled ‘God’.
If you wish to explore the issues raised in the book / sermons further with others, Chris is starting a discussion group which will start on Thursday 23rd February at 7.45pm in the Manse. If you intend coming to this please give your name to Chris.
Congregational Board Papers for those members not on email, can be uplifted from the table at the Claremount Church Door.
Life & Work Just a reminder to those who subscribe to Life & Work, the annual subscription of £21.60 is now due. We hope to be available in the Fellowship room after the service this morning, 5th February to collect the subscriptions. You can pay by cash or cheque, (cheques should be made payable to Orchardhill Parish Church). Jim and Aileen Blair
Life & Work and Orchardhill Record for February are available from the table at the Claremount Avenue Church Door. The Guild Because of a skiing accident Mrs Kathie Mulholland is unable to give us a talk on W.R.V.S. this month, but hopes to come at the end of March. Instead, tomorrow at 2pm in the Fellowship Room, we will “do it ourselves” with a film on Canada, and a modern version of one or two of Jesus’ parables, written by Anna Blair. We will welcome everyone who would like to come to this meeting. Flower Delivery We would be grateful for assistance in delivering the Church flowers on the following dates: 12th February, 25th March and 13th May. If you can help, please add your details to the lists at the Tower door. Many thanks.
