When Jesus teaches in the synagogue, the people wonder in amazement at this one who has ‘authority’ – what do we make of the idea of authority today?

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.
To continue building and developing these services Andrew is looking for people who might be willing to take part in a couple of ways:
If you’d be interested please let Andrew know (or drop a message to akimmitt@churchofscotland.org.uk or 0775230462).
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!
The service next week is the more relaxed first-Sunday-of-the-month style and is joint at Aberlour at 11.15am.
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
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.
We continue to support Moray FoodPlus through a collection of groceries. All donations of in-date groceries welcomed and very much appreciated.
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!).

When Nathanael asks fo Jesus: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” we wonder for ourselves, are we ready to find God in unexpected places and people?

At the start of a new calendar year our readings take us to ‘beginnings’ – the very beginning when God creates, and the first of all cretaion is light, and the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, baptised by John. How do we make new beginnings this year?
