Church Notes

Meeting of Synod

The Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland will meet (D.V.) in St. Jude’s Church, Glasgow on Tuesday 18th May 1982 at 6.30 p.m. when Rev. Donald Nicolson, Retiring Moderator is expected to conduct public worship.

As the Synod will be dealing with many matters and, in some cases, difficult matters affecting the Cause of Christ in our midst we would ask the praying people of the Church to remember the members of Synod at a Throne of grace.

Teaching Staff for Ingwenya

The Jewish and Foreign Missions Committee invite applications from teachers to undertake a 2 or a 3 year period of duty at the John Tallach Secondary School at Ingwenya, Zimbabwe. Enquiries and applications to the Clerk to the Committee, Rev A Murray, F P Manse, Applecross, Strathcarron, Ross-shire, IV54 8LT. (Tel. 052-04-207).

Stirling Communion

The Kirk Session of the Church Extension Charge have decided that for the spiritual good of our people in the Stirling area and with a view to the extension of the Kingdom of Christ in these parts a Communion will be held at Stirling on the Second Sabbath of June, God willing. The services will all be held in the Tolbooth, Broad Street, Stirling and will be as follows:—

Thursday and Friday 7.30 p.m., Saturday 3 p.m., Sabbath 11.15 a.m.
