Alpha @ St Mungo's

Sunday 13 February traditional communion service at 8.45am in church building, Balerno. Pre booking required from those for whom this is their regular service.

Services at 10.30am on Sunday 13 February at St Margaret’s Academy Livingston and Heriot Watt University. A limited 0-18 programme will be running at the services for both congregations. No youth activities due to half term.

Evening worship service at 6.30pm on Sunday 13 February at Heriot Watt University. An hour of worship, all welcome so bring friends. This service is not live streamed.

Heriot Watt University has red phones on the walls near the auditorium, they kindly request that these emergency phones are not picked up as they are linked to their University staff for emergency purposes only. Thank you.

Balerno Services. The hope and plan is that we will return to Balerno High School for our services from Sunday 27 February.

Care Van resources needed: When it's cold outside, it's good to have a warm pair of gloves, isn't it? Those who we serve on the Bethany Care Van supporting the homeless in Edinburgh agree! They’d welcome donations -most urgent first: Gloves, toothpaste, men’s disposable razors, deodorant, small shampoo, coats, t-shirts, shoes, scarfs, joggers, plain soaps. Please contact Susan treasuredartwork@yahoo.co.uk to arrange delivery. Thanks so much.

St Mungo’s Christmas Collection: We are delighted to announce that we have reached our target of £25,000 with just over 2 weeks still to go. We are extremely grateful to everyone who have contributed to both Challenge Ministries Swaziland and Starfish Asia and the blessing this will be to their work. We will keep the giving page open until 28 February if you still wish to give. https://www.stewardship.org.uk/pages/christmasappeal2021.

GOLD (St Mungo’s over 60’s group) hope that they will be able to meet face to face soon. They are still working out where and how but afternoon of Tuesday 8 March is the likely date. More information and details coming soon.

Alpha course in Balerno starts on Thursday 24 February. This will be in person in the church building, Ladycroft Balerno, with food – think about who you can invite. To sign up email alpha@stmungos.org.

Youth will not be meeting on Friday 18 February, or Sundays 13 and 20 February because of half term.

Prayers

Pray for the 40 youth plus leaders away for the weekend of 11 to 13 February. For Jonny as he heads up everything and for God to touch these young people’s lives as they meet together.
