Tuesday Bible Study Groups

Connect Groups – Connecting with God, Connecting with each other

Our next Tuesday Bible Study series will start on September 6th, with a choice of an evening or an afternoon session to try.

We will start with a series on “God’s Love” using a short guide book to explore some psalms which fill out aspects of this vast topic.

We had thought about calling the series “CONNECT with the Bible” but that misses the point, it’s really all about Connecting with Jesus.

For more information, please contact Grant on GMaclaughlan@churchofscotland.org.uk

Connecting with God

Over the last two years we have enjoyed times of fellowship and learning on a Tuesday evening through our Zoom ‘Connect with the Bible’.

On Tuesday 26th April from 7.30pm we will be celebrating the end of this group at the manse and the beginning of something new.

Our new groups will be held in person at church from Tuesday 3rd May.

These groups will have 20 minutes of connecting with one another as we look to build and deepen our friendships across the church, 20 minutes of exploring a passage of the Bible and 20 minutes of a prayerful exercise.

The groups are designed for people at all stages of faith and people will not be asked to do anything they are not comfortable with.

Let us know if you would like to join us on 26th April, or from 3rd May – GMaclaughlan@churchofscotland.org.uk

Bereavement: Spaces for Listening

The pain of bereavement and loss never leaves, we simply learn to live with a loved ones absence. The scar may fade, however the scar is still there.

A mum or dad, a spouse or partner, a son or daughter, a friend, someone who made a difference to our lives!

Whatever the relationship, sometimes we need space to talk. To talk about the person, to share our memories, to tell our stories; to share how we continue to live with the reality of their death; to be honest about how much we miss them and how we are coping or perhaps not coping.

If you have experienced a bereavement and would like a safe space to talk openly with others, then please join our Spaces For Listening Bereavement Group.

This will be led by Grant, and will take place once a month on Mondays (2nd May, 6th June, 4th July) at 2pm- 3:30pm in the Vestry, a downstairs room at church.

You are welcome to come to each of these sessions or just one. We’d like to keep the numbers small, so please email Grant to let him know you are coming GMaclaughlan@churchofscotland.org.uk.

You may also want to share with other family members or friends that this is taking place, if you think it might be helpful for them.

This Walk of Witness will start at St Mary’s Church Lochee and will end at Lochee Parish Church with various stops en route. Tea/coffee and hot cross buns at the end of the walk.

Temporary changes in the building

There are some temporary changes necessary to how we access the church sanctuary.

We had a recent building inspection by the Church of Scotland Health and Safety Officer. As a result, a number of issues have been identified regarding the building.

Firstly, the condition of the stonework and windows above the front entrance on Blackness Avenue have been identified as being in poor condition. This means that until we have some remedial work done, we
cannot use the front entrance.

Entrance and exit, to and from the church building will only be from the Shaftesbury Terrace (ie halls) door.

Secondly, a crack at ceiling height above the organ and lectern needs further investigation to ensure that it is stable. Until this is done, we need to keep a 2-metre safe zone beneath it. This unfortunately means that the organ will not be used for leading worship and the lectern will not be used.

We are currently working on a plan to organise for the appropriate professionals to quote for remedial work to be carried out but this will take time. We will update you when we can.

Family & Young People Activities

An important part of our church family has been hit badly by all that has happened in the last two years. Guidelines have stopped us from being able to deliver any Sunday activities for our children!

Family Zoom Quiz

We’re holding Family Zoom Quiz on Sunday 6th February at 3pm, to involve children and families in our church life. Why not bring your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces or godchildren along?

Please email administrator@logies.org if you would like the Zoom access information.

Children and young people’s work meeting

We also want to look at how we can best begin to deliver work with children and young people as part of our congregational worship. Sunday morning doesn’t always fit with family life, sporting activities and other leisure pursuits so we’d like to hear what would work best for you and your children.

We’re holding a Zoom meeting on Sunday 30th January at 3pm to gather thoughts and ideas. If you are a parent, grandparent or carer, or if you have been part of our children’s work in the past, please come along.

If you are interested and know you cannot make the meeting, please let Grant know and we will try to update you and find ways to hear your thoughts.

We also aim to consult the children and young people about what they feel would be best for them.

Please email administrator@logies.org if you would like the Zoom access information.
