Advent began on Sunday past and our Christmas series will begin this Sunday as we consider the ‘Promise of Christmas’ from Matthew 1:18-25. As we enter December we are looking forward to a number of Christmas initiatives taking place at South Glasgow Church. This week we are making our Christmas donation to the local Foodbank as well as helping at the FoodShare again on Thursday morning. Our Neighbourhood Chaplaincy team will be doing more visits in the local community throughout  December and delivering some N.C. Christmas cards as we do so. We are advertising our Carol Service and Christmas Fair coming later in the month and you can help with this by volunteering now to do some leafleting! The Ignite youth group will be meeting throughout December and are already planning for the Christmas service after meeting last week to study the historical background at the time of Jesus’ first coming. We were pleased to visit residents at the local Sheltered Housing last week and delighted that Project Present will be taking place again this year when we will deliver presents to residents later in the month. Back to this week and our weekly S.U. group is taking place as are Life Groups across the church. We hope you have a good week!
