Welcome to your Church
Scottish Parliamentary Elections on 7th May
Our Church is again supporting our community with the use of our Halls as a Polling Station on 7th May. With the Halls being set up on the Wednesday, it is unfortunate that we have had to cancel the Rainbows/Brownies on that night, and the Toddlers and BB on the day of the Election. The Halls will be restored to normal use by Monday morning when the polling booths are removed by the Council.
Arkleston Singers will be having their Summer Concert on May 15th at 7-30pm in Paisley South Church.
Tickets are £15 and they can be purchased at the door or from Sandra Maxwell.
Mission Conference – 2nd June 7pm with guest speaker Paul Beautyman.
Aimed at church leaders and volunteers, this session will explore how and why churches can work with children and young people in today’s world.
There are many challenges in church and society but engaging children and young people can bring God’s life to them and the church. Drawing on existing good practice and innovative models Paul Beautyman from Youth Work Journeys will guide us.
Paul has enabled mission and outreach across Scotland as a minister, youth worker and presbytery advisor and now runs his own business supporting and growing youth workers.
This session in June will be followed up by two later meetings to provide practical next steps and resources for churches, workers and volunteers.
The dates of these meetings will be set in discussion with those who wish to attend.
Paul will lead the conference in Inchinnan Parish Church (PA4 9PH). Open to all folk who are interested in exploring Youth Work. Please advertise within your congregations (particularly Youth Workers) and with ecumenical partners.
NOTE: this is not just for members of Presbytery.
There is parking available but note McGills 757 (Clydebank to Paisley) and 23 (Glasgow to Erskine) buses stop outside the church on Old Greenock Road.
