Make New Friends in Lossiemouth at the St James’ Church Twice-monthly Drop-In

June 25, 2017 by 2

NOTICE (13 March 2020) –

The Drop-in Team have decided to temporarily discontinue the Wednesday Drop-in because of the current concerns regarding the risks from Coronavirus.

Please stay safe, and we look forward to meeting up again when things are back to normal.

Background to the drop-in…

St James’ Church Drop-In started in 2014, as a welcoming place to come for a tea / coffee and a chat.

It is open two Wednesday afternoons a month from 2.00pm (suggested donation: £1.00).

Tables are arranged so you can sit in a group and enjoy one another’s company. There is no rush and the atmosphere is warm and friendly.

A selection of delicious home bakes is offered for you to help yourself – and tea or coffee is served at your table.

All ages are made welcome.

Young children sometimes come with mum or in a family group. Grandparents often bring grandchildren during the holidays. Some people come together, but others come on their own and soon make friends. No one is left to sit by themselves.

Some people come regularly and others pop in as and when they feel like having company.

You may come as a stranger but you will leave as a friend.

Why not give the drop-in a try?

If we haven’t seen you for a while, you will be sure of a warm welcome back.

Helpers are welcome too.

Anyone who would like to help at the Wednesday Drop-In or provide home bakes, please speak to Rosemary or Elfriede. We work from a rota, so a constant commitment is not necessary.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to get in touch with us via this website.

Upcoming dates (2019/2020):

Please note there are currently no upcoming dates. The Drop-in has been temporarily discontinued due to Coronavirus.

WELCOME TO OUTREACH

Now-it's-time-to-change-your-ways-Acts-3-19

Now it’s Time to Change your Ways!

April 18, 2021 By 2

It’s the Third Sunday of Easter – 18 April 2021.

This is the time in the Christian calendar when the main scriptural readings all come from Acts (of the Apostles – i.e. the actions of the followers of Jesus in the immediate aftermath of his death and resurrection).

Ths week it’s Acts 3:12-19. The other Lectionary readings for this week are: Psalm 4;
1 John 3:1-7; and Luke 24:36b-48.

With the resumption of face-to-face services at St James from 04 April 2021, we are in a period of ‘hybrid’ services with an in-person element and a video/remote element via this website. For the video service, which you will find below, we post the main reading from Acts, the service of readings, prayers and the sermon (led by Rev. Geoff McKee), and a Musical Selection from our director of music, Katherine Robertson.

The main reading from Acts.

Acts 3:12-19 (New International Version)
12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

17 “Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer. 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

“Now it’s time to change your ways!” – Acts 3:19 – From The Message Bible translation by Eugene Peterson (The Bible in Contemporary Language).
