Canon Ian Young's message for 19th May 2024
Dear Friends,
SUNDAY IS BRING A FRIEND TO CHUCH DAY, IF YOU CAN.
IT IS PENTECOST - THE BIRTHDAY OF THE CHURCH.
In our readings we will be celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit to the first disciples. Our first reading from the Acts of the Apostles tells of the Holy Spirit giving new power to Jesus’ disciples, helping them to share the good news of Christ more widely. In our gospel passage from John, Jesus reassures his disciples that after he leaves them they will not be left alone, but will know the help of the Holy Spirit.
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE COMING AND BRINGING A FRIEND, IT WILL BE HELPFUL WHEN PHOTOCOPYING ORDERS OF SERVICE BUT NOT OBLIGATORY, PLEASE JUST COME.
QUIZ NIGHT
A huge thank-you to Alan and Sue Vardy for organising such a fun evening in the village hall. I know, those of us who were present had a most enjoyable time. If you still wish to make a donation to “Big Noise” please contact Sue.
THE REVEREND DOUGLAS MAIN
The former minister of Errol and Kilspindie churches is being privately cremated, but there will be a memorial service on Monday 20th May at 12.00noon in Errol Parish Church. I know Douglas was known to many of you and was highly regarded and respected in the community.
COMFIRMATION AND/OR THE MEANING OF HOLY COMMUNION
I already have names of a few young people whose parents (and themselves) wish to know more about Holy Communion before the receive the sacrament. This may or may not lead to confirmation. If you know of young people (about 10 or 11 years old) that I should approach please let me know.
With love and blessings from your friend and Rector,
IAN
