Mearns Kirk

Recruitment
You will possibly recall from the previous Newsletter that we were seeking to  employ a Caretaker for our Halls and Church. Interviews were held towards the  end of last year and we are delighted to welcome our new Caretaker/Hallkeeper,  David Park, to the post.

David started work with us on 8th January and has settled in amazingly well. So if  you are down at the halls during the day please say hello to him.

Easter
The Easter Services are detailed in this issue of the Newsletter but we would like  to ask if possible, for your presence at the joint Maundy Thursday service at  Maxwell Mearns Church and the joint Good Friday service at Newton Mearns  Parish Church.

Both services take place at 7pm. On Easter Sunday, Eddie will be holding an  informal Communion after the morning service for those who wish to remain.

Wednesday Services 10.30am (Wee Hall)
These fortnightly services continue to be well attended and we are grateful to  Alison Fenton and Alan McKay who alternate worship between them.

Future  dates until the end of June are: April 3rd: May 1st, 15th, & 29th: June 12th & 26th. 

Please note there will be no Service on 17th April and no services during July and  August.

Streaming & Sound at Services
Are you a techy person? We are desperately seeking new people to come  forward to help with the streaming of the Sunday services.

We will soon be down to only a couple of helpers so that means they are needed  every second week which is a big ask.

Training would be given so if this is something you would be interested in doing  please speak to the sound people on a Sunday, contact the office or speak to  any of the Session Clerks.

Café Church
Our first Café Church of 2024 will be held on 12th May in the Sullivan Hall and  this will coincide with our Christian Aid ‘Big Brekkie’. Please come along and  support this wonderful cause.

The following Saturday 18th May, will see the return of the popular ‘Plant Sale’ so  come early if you want to bag some plants as they sell out fast! We wish all  our congregation a very ‘Happy Easter’
