New church signs

On Saturday we replaced the old sign on the front of the church, and put up another one on the side of the building. We're thankful to Oasis Design Studio for working with us to design them, and to our friends Daniel and Joel for bringing them over.

The work to the church hall is also coming on well, and we are looking forward to the potential opportunities that will open up as we seek to 'bring good news' to Stranraer!

Reading Lamentations

Lamentations is probably one of the least-known books of the Bible - but we're hoping to become more familiar with it over the next 4 weeks as we read it together using the notes from Let's Worship God, and then get together on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm to discuss it.

The notes were written by Kyle Borg, minister of Winchester RP Church in Kansas. He's pictured above with Stephen at the RP International Conference in the summer. To read more of Kyle's writing, check out his contributions to the Gentle Reformation blog. His sermons are available to listen to on Reformed Voice, along with a helpful seminar he gave at the Conference on rural and small town ministry:

End of year lunch

We enjoyed having lunch together in the Craignelder after our last Wednesday Bible study of 2016.

Those who are free during the day meet together each Wednesday to discuss the passage from the previous Sunday morning's sermon.

The first one in 2017 will be on Wednesday 11th January at 11am in the church. It's been good to have some new faces along over the past few months, and there's always room for a few more - so if you're free on Wednesday mornings, please do join us!
