Worship

Is it nothing to you, you passers-by?
If only you would look and see: is there any agony like mine? Lamentations 1: 12

Holy Thursday/ Maundy Thursday
You desire faithfulness in the inmost being. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Psalm 51: 6-7

A great prophet has arisen among us, God has shown his care for his people. Luke 7: 16

Let us strive to know the Lord, whose coming is as sure as the sunrise. He will come to us like the rain, like spring rains that water the earth.

6th Sunday in Lent

Sunday worship is resuming today in Riverside, St Andrew’s and West Kirk, though with restrictions on maximum numbers in place.

Welcome:
Now is the hour of judgement for this world; now shall the prince of this world be driven out. And when I am lifted up from the earth I shall draw everyone to myself.
John 12: 31-32

Welcome:
Jesus died for all so that those who live should cease to live for themselves, and should live for him who for their sake died and was raised to life.

2 Corinthians 5: 15

Welcome
Ordinarily around this date the Christian Heritage of Dumbarton project (part of Dumbarton Churches Together) would have arranged for P5 children from all Primary Schools in Dumbarton, plus representatives of Kilpatrick School, to come together to play a Yes/No answer game relating to characters (vaguely to very vaguely) linked to St Patrick. It is partly to help them to learn a bit about his links with this area, but mainly to bring together children in the two streams of education as part of an anti-sectarian initiative.

It usually happens on or near 17 March, traditionally marked as the Feast of St Patrick. He is patron saint of Ireland, but today we are going to focus on his links (or reputed links) with Dumbarton and Dunbartonshire, and think about this town and area.

Mother’s Day.
Welcome:
Send out your light and your truth to be my guide;
Let them lead me to your holy hill, to your dwelling place,
Psalm 43: 3

Eucharist, The Sacrament of Communion:
A service of Communion, in which those who wish may share.
All are welcome;
The LORD is in his holy temple;
Let all the earth be silent in his presence
Habakkuk 2: 20
