General Election 2010

From Craig Lancaster:

Dear West End ACTS members,

Just to remind you of our next event to be held in Kelvinside Hillhead Church at 7.30pm on Wednesday 5th May. After the huge success of our Hustings, for which we must thank Norman Shanks and the congregation of Hillhead Baptist Church, there is now an opportunity to meet on the eve of the election for some Pre-election Reflection. This short act of worship will allow us to join together and bring our country, it's people and politicians before God.

Please do advertise this as widely as you feel able.

With thanks,

Craig

Lent Studies @ Hillhead Baptist Church

Lent Studies - a five part series entitled 'Life Calling' which explores the idea of vocation - are being organised by Hillhead Baptists and are open to anyone from the Parish Group or West End ACTS.

For those who wish to join us, we are going to watch the film on which the studies are based Saturday 20th February starting at 7p.m. in the Tryst (legally I cannot publish the name of the film here, but it is about a boy who dreams of becoming a dancer...) and any or all are welcome to join us. Free pop corn provided!!

Studies will take place on Monday evenings at 7:30 either at Hillhead Baptist Church or a nearby home - please contact Catriona Gorton for more details.

The Miracle of Christmas - Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who came and shared in the Advent Prayers & Lunches at Hillhead Baptist Church. I estimate that around 25-30 different folk came along, and there were never less than a dozen of us on any one day.

Thank you for donations for Christian Aid. We raised just over £145, which will be passed on via West End ACTS early in 2010.

United Service: January 3rd 2010

The first Sunday morning service of the new year will be held in Wellington Church at 11.00 a.m. on January 3rd.
