Welcome to Banchory East church website

Worship Sunday 3 May  2020.​ 

Todays reflection is also available by phoning Phone 01330700793.

A thought to start with

Jesus life is characterised by love and acceptance.
He values every individual and he sees each person as precious.
the two stories of the lost sheep and the lost coin emphasis this.
They show how God is always reaching out and searching for us.

John reminded us that this is what love really is:
not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son

Let us worship God

Let us pray

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 your standing orders 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 [email protected] or speak to your elder.

A prayer of thanksgiving and for the needs of others

A favourite hymn to finish with

​1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
he makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

2 My soul he doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.

3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill,
for thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

4 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
​
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me;
and in God's house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.

A closing thought

Loving God you call your church to witness
that in Christ we are reconciled to you.
Help us 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.
