This week at SGC we begin a three week discussion group based on Christianity Explored as we prepare to run Hope Explored in 2022. This group is for anyone who is interested in the Christian faith and we are pleased to have a number of visitors taking part to explore the gospel together. We will be helping at the FoodShare again on Thursday morning and our Neighbourhood Chaplaincy team will also be doing visits in the area later this week. Our Ignite youth group are meeting at the weekend as we follow up on our recent study sessions on climate change. After our recent mini-series we decided to calculate our environmental footprint and our hope is that people across the church will do this and consider if they can make any changes as we approach the Cop26 conference here in Glasgow. We’re also looking forward to the Ignite youth group submitting some suggestions as to how we can cut down our carbon footprint at church! Looking ahead we are pleased to announce that we will be partnering with Thornliebank Parish Church to run the Big Quiz Night as a fund raising event for Tearfund on Saturday 20th November and you can submit a team by contacting us.  Don’t forget our prayer meeting on Wednesday evening this week and we continue our series in John’s gospel with the famous account of the raising of Lazarus this Sunday.
