6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
Welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have come together to worship God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, upon
whom we depend for everything, and who blesses us daily by his grace.

There were plans to start a Mums & Tots Group one or two mornings per week with the arrival of Jonathan Daniel as Community
Outreach Coordinator. Since Jonathan is not coming are there any parents or individuals in our congregation who feel guided by the
Holy Spirit to help organise this type of group? We have received a grant for £306.00 which has been used to purchase a variety of new
equipment. We have also been given a donation of small chairs and tables. Feel free to contact the Rev Boyd on 07955102923 to discuss.
Please note that the Presbyterian Herald magazine will be increasing in price from £10 to £15 for the yearly subscription from January. Contact Mark or
Julie Wilson if you have any queries.
