Sarah reads us the story of the prodigal son

Kid's kirk activity time

Over on the all age Kid's kirk page this week.
  1. Norma offers more tips on putting on a play. Today she presents a version of the prodigal son using simple computer programmes on most computers and settings, scenery and characters from around the house.
  2. You might time to think about the feelings of the sons that Sarah spoke about. Do Norma's characters always show them correctly? If not, why do you think that might be?
  3. ​​An app that allows you to imagine how the prodigal son dressed on his journey; holiday look, space man, diver -you get to choose in kid’s kirk online this week.
  4. Maybe you've heard of VE day. There's a link to learn a simple swing dance from 1945.
You can reach the kid's kirk pages directly from the tab at the top or through this link

The Offering

Thank you for continuing to support the finances of the church at this time when we can't gather in our buildings. Thank you for your standing orders, direct tranfers and the FWO envelopes that are being posted to the Manse.

​We offer our gifts of time, talent and money to the work of God using the words of Hymn 505


​All that I am, all that I do, all that I'll ever have I offer now to you.
Take and sanctify these gifts for your honour, Lord.
Knowing that I love and serve you is enough reward.
All that I am, all that I do,
all that I'll ever have I offer now to you.
​If you would like further information on how to keep giving financially to the church while the building is closed on Sunday, please contact our Treasurer, Helen, at treasurer@banchoryeastchurch.com or speak to your elder.

Today is the start of Christian Aid week. It looks and feels a bit different this year.

A closing thought

Click here for text version
Loving God you sent your son to be the light of the church
Open our hearts to the riches of your grace,
​
Open our ears to your living Word
and our eyes to his glorious presence 
that we maybe strengthened
to know you are present with us 
each and every day of our lives
as you call your church to witness
that in Christ we are reconciled to you.
Help us in our present situation of social distancing
to discover creative ways to proclaim just that:

the good news of your great love
that all who hear may turn to you
through Jesus Christ

​Peace be upon you,
​Amen

Amen.

​Bible reading plan
 oHere's a simple bible reading plan for the next few weeks taken from Janie Stuart's favourite Bible commentator-Dale Bruner. He calls it making a home with Jesus. (John 15). His suggestion is that we read a a book a month, reading a chapter a day and think about what we have read and what is happening in our lives. Since some books are have fewer chapters than days in the month, then you either get to have a few days holiday or spend time chewing over passages that caught your attention in that particular book.
His scheme for the next few months would be:
March: Luke 1-24
April: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28
June: Romans: 1-16
We are part way through the gospel of Luke in the church so I would suggest the following:
March 22 to April 12 Luke 10 -24
April 13 to May 3: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28 which would gets us back onto Dale's plan but let us read and reflect on the Easter story at Easter.
