Glasgow Presbytery are putting on two very interesting events next weekend. On Saturday morning, at Clincarthill Church, there is 'A Taste for Mission'. This is an opportunity to find out about different approaches for reaching out to our community, including reaching out to children with Godly Play and ways of engaging those who are isolated. It runs from 10am to 1pm and includes lunch. On Sunday at 3pm, there is a service in the University Chapel celebrating God the Creator and God the Holy Spirit, and looking at how science can actually point us towards God.

Tomorrow evening, Morris Dutch will be continuing his sermon series on Philippians. Please come and join us at 6:30!

Tomorrow morning we will be welcoming our new Discipleship Facilitator, Douglas Robertson, and continuing our sermon series on Ecclesiastes. The Annual Stated Meeting will also take place after the service, allowing the opportunity to review membership numbers and church finances. Please come and join us tomorrow at 11.

One of the visitors to last Saturday's Heritage Event was Ilisa Stack - Shettleston's Artist in Residence. She is hosting a pop-up photo event at Tesco this Saturday. She'd be delighted to see any old photos you have of the area and also to take a photo of you to add to her archive. Why not pop along and see what it's all about?

Also tomorrow, Heart and Soul - a celebration of the Church - will be taking place at Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh tomorrow afternoon as part of the General Assembly (www.heartandsoul.org.uk). Meanwhile, back in Shettleston (at 6:30pm), Bob Trelogan will be preaching on Acts 10 in the final part of his series on "How the Church Grows".

Tomorrow morning we'll be looking at the most well-known part of Ecclesiastes - chapter 3: "There is a time for everything..." Please come and join us at 11.

This Sunday evening, Bob Trelogan will be continuing his sermon series on 'How the Church grows'. This week it will be how the Church grows because of internal problems - with reference to Acts 5:1-16. Afterwards, we will be sharing communion. Please come and join us at 6:30!

This Sunday morning our Girlguiding Unit and our BB Company will be on parade. We'll also be taking part in King Solomon's favourite quiz show - Wise or Unwise? - and learning more about the rather unusual book of Ecclesiastes. Please come and join us at 11!

We're starting Christianity Explored at Shettleston New next week. The course will be on Wednesdays at 7pm and runs from 13th May to 26th June, and the venue will be 211 Sandyhills Road. We'll look at some of life's big questions as well as exploring the life of Jesus through the Gospel of Mark. If interested, please let Louis know on 0784 308 3548 / LReddick@churchofscotland.org.uk.

Ignite is on for young people on Sunday 12th May 6pm at Parkhead Congregational Church. Primary 6s to Secondary 6 ages catered for. Admission and activities are free, please have a parent/carer fill a registration form at the door on the day!

Our friends at Shettleston Baptist Church have a lunchtime mission running this week. If you're free, why not pop along?

Gordon Cheung from Christians Against Poverty will be preaching again at our evening service tomorrow, looking at 1 Timothy 6:11-19, with a bit of Luke 18 & 19 thrown in for good measure! Please come and join us at 6:30 pm to be challenged about how closely our lives align with the priorities of the Gospel.

If you find that life can often be confusing and unfair, if it feels as if you're "chasing after the wind" as you go from one week to the next, then you're in good company...the wisest man in the Old Testament, King Solomon, found the same thing. Come and find out more about his story and what it means for us as we begin our new sermon series on the Book of Ecclesiastes tomorrow morning (11am).
