Christian Aid Middle East appeal for Gaza conflict

Throughout advent we supported Christian Aid’s appeal for their aid work in the Middle East amidst the conflict in Gaza. The combined totals of the retiring offerings totalled £766.85, with the added 25% of GiftAid donations meaning that the true total will be even more.
Thank you to everyone who so generously donated, it will provide lifesaving aid for a part of the world that continues to be in our prayers as we hope for an end to violence and a just peace.

Development of first Sundays of month service

To continue building and developing these services Andrew is looking for people who might be willing to take part in a couple of ways:

  1. During ‘wondering’ time: act as a discussion host for the table
  2. Lead the prayer for others

If you’d be interested please let Andrew know (or drop a message to akimmitt@churchofscotland.org.uk or 0775230462).

Glebe project lunch

Thank you to all who have RSVP’d to join the Glebe project lunch happening today. The lovely news is that we’ll likely have more than plenty, so please consider your very warm welcome to join us today after the service at Aberlour even if you haven’t RSVP’d or had much to do with the glebe so far and simply want to find out more – you’ll be among friends and are very welcome!

Joint service next week February 4th

The service next week is the more relaxed first-Sunday-of-the-month style and is joint at Aberlour at 11.15am.

Readings next week

At the joint service the Godly Play story will be of Elijah. If you want a head start on wondering, try 1 Kings 16-19, 2 Kings 2

Aberlour Flower Rota

We are so appreciative of those who take part in the flower rota at Aberlour, ensuring that we have beautiful flowers each week. There is a new calendar for 2024 with spaces for each Sunday. If you’d like to provide flowers for a Sunday, you can add your name to the rota on the table in the church.

Moray FoodPlus

We continue to support Moray FoodPlus through a collection of groceries. All donations of in-date groceries welcomed and very much appreciated.

WORSHIP 21st January

Online worship – ‘technical issues’ (Andrew’s microphone clumsiness) meant that the sound didn’t record on this week’s intended online worship. So with apologies, this week’s video is a repeat of this time last year: the theme of it being the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity no less relevant (and it turns out there was snow around exactly a year ago too!).

Let’s worship God
