Ongoing Covid restrictions in Glasgow mean that we continue to be limited in numbers and that all preventative measures remain in place. For these reasons we suggest you come to church in good time as registration details are required to be logged.

Christian Aid Week takes place this month. The main theme this year is to raise funds to help people build earth dams and install pipes and taps for their own communities to conserve water for use in times of drought. A big fund-raiser is CA’s annual sponsored kilt walk which has clearly needed to change from its usual format this year.
Boops-a-daisy, the hedgehog, is carrying out the kiltwalk challenge on her exercise wheel and seeks sponsors. In doing this she is following a tradition established earlier by another member of her household, Sprinkles who raised £300 for Christian Aid in this way two years ago.
NB Boops will do this as part of her normal daily routine! A suitable counting meter is simply connected to the wheel. We would not want anyone to be concerned about her.
You can support Boops-a-daisy by visiting her Facebook page and donating here. or via your gift to Christian Aid in church or via the Christian Aid website.
…as Rev Dr Roger Sturrock quoted from Psalm 122 when we gathered to celebrate Communion this morning.
We are very glad to be able to resume regular 11 am Sunday morning worship, together again at KH.
Next week we welcome Rev Dr Grant Barclay leading the service. Hope to see you there!
Dear Friends
It seems a very long time since we have been able to worship in church on a regular basis but we are pleased to announce that Sunday Services in KH will resume this Sunday, 9th May, at 11am. This will be a communion service led by Rev Dr Roger Sturrock.
We have a full preaching programme arranged for the summer months and beyond and we do hope you can manage to join us.
Please note that due to ongoing Covid restrictions we are limited in numbers and that all preventative measures will continue to be in place until reduced restrictions are hopefully announced on the 17 May. For these reasons we suggest you come to church in good time as registration details are required to be logged.
We hope to see you then.
With warmest good wishes,
Eileen Bishop, Session Clerk
