Worship at both churches during October
During October, Adam will lead worship at both Sherbrooke Mosspark and Ibrox. This will give us more opportunities to get to know one another and build the relationships that will help our new congregation flourish.
Welcoming Euan Gibb,
We welcome Euan Gibb, a ministry student who will be with us until Pentecost 2027. We look forward to getting to know him and sharing in his learning and ministry.

Potential Car Lift Rota
As we come together as one congregation across a wider area, we are aware that some members do not drive but would like to attend worship regularly. To help make this easier, we are exploring the possibility of establishing a car lift rota, with volunteer drivers offering transport to and from church.
If enough drivers are available, the aim would be for each volunteer driver to collect and take home up to two people who live reasonably close to one another, on a rota basis, so that no one driver is required every week.
At this stage, we are looking for people who:
• Need a lift to church
• Are willing to be volunteer drivers
Participants would need to provide their contact details (telephone number and, ideally, email address). Those requiring transport would also need to provide their home address. Volunteer drivers would be asked to provide details of their vehicle (make, model, colour and registration number) so that passengers can easily identify them.
Please note that you must be willing for this information to be shared with those involved in the rota so that arrangements can be made.
If you would like a lift, are willing to be a driver, or would simply like to find out more, please contact:

This initiative could not only help people attend worship more easily, but also provide an opportunity to get to know one another better across the congregation

The union vote
Both Sherbrooke Mosspark and Ibrox have voted positively for the proposed union. Thank you to everyone who took part, and to all who have worked so patiently to bring us to this point. We look forward to taking the next steps together.

Messy Church Volunteers Needed
Messy Church starts again in September, and we are looking for volunteers to help with our sessions at Mosspark Bowling Club. We are particularly in need of people who can help with the lifting, setting up and clearing away of chairs and tables before and after each session. The commitment is just once a month for approximately 2½ hours, and any help would be greatly appreciated. If you feel you could assist, please contact Ruth Sills at [email protected].

Used Stamp Collection: For many years the congregation collected used stamps, which were sent to a charity via the Presbytery. This was discontinued in February. We shall restart collecting and send them to the RNIB [Royal National Institute for Blind People], which will be delighted to receive them. A labelled box will be placed in the vestibule. It is best if the stamps can have about ½ inch of paper around them. John Thomson
Bulb Bowls and Containers Please!
Although it’s high summer the Advent Fayre Team are thinking ahead. We have started collecting bulb bowls and containers suitable for bringing on bulbs in time for the sale. If you bought a bowl of bulbs last year but don’t need the bowl, or if you are clearing out cupboards and have bowls and containers you don’t use we’d love to have them. You might even find some at bargain prices in charity shops. Donations would be much appreciated and can be left in a box at the back of the church.
Thank you in advance.

If there are hymns you especially love and would like to suggest for worship, please do get in touch with the church office. Such suggestions are always warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated. In planning each service, we try to reflect the different moods and themes needed at different points in worship, so while we may not always be able to include every request straight away, Adam is always glad to receive them and to use them when we can.
Urban Go Hotel: Female helpers only required to support the residents of the Ruban Go Hotel which hosts asylum seekers by visiting and building relationships with the families and individual, our interfaith group will be visiting on Thursday mornings 10:00 - 12:00 noon. This has been changed at our request as the AM chorus meeting on a Wednesday. Please consider helping with this important work.
