New Laigh Kirk - a place to belong You will see that there are many people of all ages seeking to serve within New Laigh Kirk as well as the wider community. As part of the family of God and gifted with many and varying talents, we try to use these to deepen our faith, care for each other, and to spread into our town and parish the good news of God’s love for all. On behalf of New Laigh Kirk I welcome you all and offer a warm invitation whether you are a guest or regular attender to find your welcome place among us, a place to belong, to join in regular worship, to join in the life of our Kirk in whatever capacity and in your own appropriate way. May God richly Bless you in your worship and always.
Order of Service Choir Introit Let all the world in every corner sing Welcome and Intimations Call to Worship Come, people of the risen King, Who delight to bring him praise, Come, all and tune your hearts to sing To the Morning Star of grace. From the shifting shadows of the earth We will lift our eyes to Him, Where steady arms of mercy reach To gather children in. Rejoice! Rejoice! Let ev’ry tongue rejoice! One heart, one voice, O Church of Christ, rejoice! Come, those whose joy is morning sun And those weeping through the night. Come, those who tell of battles won, And those struggling in the fight. For his perfect love will never change, And his mercies never cease, But follow us through all our days With the certain hope of peace. Come, young and old from every land, Men and women of the faith. Come, those with full or empty hands, Find the riches of His grace. Over all the world His people sing, Shore to shore we hear them call
The truth that cries through every age; Our God is all in all. Rejoice….. Repeat Chorus…. Prayer All Age Address Hymn 531
