Welcome to Banchory East church website

 Scroll down for March 29 worship resources.

The church is not the building, the church is the people and so while it is sensible for us not to gather week by week in the building, we will be publishing prayers, reflections and readings on this site each week and on our Facebook page.

This version brings out the togetherness of what Luke decided to tell us of Jesus message today.
​A closing thought
​Sitting before Jesus during anxious times
Luke 12: 'Life is not defined by what you have.' (v15 The Message) 
Lord, I realise that I need to be wholehearted in my life of faith.  Give me the courage to look honestly at my life and be willing to face up to the 'gods' that preoccupy me.  Do I really desire You, Lord, with all my heart?  If not, give me grace to desire You and to see You as my dearly Beloved, who alone can satisfy my deep inner needs.
 Amen.
(Aileen Ross)

​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.
