Youth Weekend Away Prayer points
Annual General Meeting: for all Church members on Sunday 30 January as part of our 10.30am services at both St Margaret’s in Livingston and Heriot Watt University. Details were emailed to all members on 7 and 26 January. Church members watching the service via the live stream participate in the Vestry nominee affirmation process via an online voting form which will be issued via ChurchSuite on the morning of Sunday 30 January. This form will be open for the duration of the service only. Only the Balerno service will be live streamed.
Sunday 30 January traditional communion service at 8.45am in church building. Pre booking required from those for whom this is their regular service.
Sunday 30 January: a full 0-18 programme will be running at the 10.30 services for both congregations.
Worship and Prayer event Sunday 30 January: 6.30pm at Heriot Watt University for both congregations. As we start the year together we want to use our evening service to come together as church family and prayer for our church. The evening will begin with worship and then move to led intercession from the front with opportunities to pray with those seated around you and finish with more worship.
