Please remember to pray for the churches and individuals mentioned in the Baptist Union of Scotland Prayer Link for Sunday, 20th July. We have received prayer information from - Ivy Young, BUS Ministry Administrator. I am thankful for some holiday time with my family in July as we travel to the Lake District. Although meetings are quiet during the summer weeks, preparation is ongoing for a Board of Ministry training day for new members, and accreditation interviews in August, and also a Candidate’s conference in September. Hawick: Rev George Mackenzie. Please pray for “The Almond Tree” (our new café) opening in June in Hawick High Street and for the staff and volunteers, a great new opportunity to connect with our community (supported by a grant from the Baptist Union of Scotland). We give thanks for several baptisms this past year and the increase in membership and the numbers attending midweek youth and childrens activities. Helensburgh. Please pray for our Commonwealth Sports Day in a housing estate, for good weather, that many people will attend and for follow-up opportunities. We give thanks that Rev Neil Allison is to be our new Minister, and look forward to his Induction on Saturday 20th September at 2pm. High Blantyre: Rev Stephen Younger. Until the end of September, our pastor is on study leave, focussing on Field Research for a PhD on the ‘Religious Observance and Spiritual Development’ requirements of the Curriculum for Excellence. Pray for him and for our preaching team during his absence and for provision of financial and material resources to maintain the Church’s ministry. Praise God for effective long-term partnerships with local Church of Scotland congregations in monthly ‘Sanctus’ services and joint School chaplaincies; our vibrant Sunday Club and SU groups. Our church and community children are a joy, a privilege, a challenge and an opportunity.
