Welcome A very warm welcome to worship this morning from all at New Laigh Kirk to A New Season of Invitation. We are delighted you accepted our invitation to join us and hope you enjoy worshipping with us. Please make yourself known to those sitting beside you. The monthly Sacrament of Holy Communion will take place immediately after our service this morning. All are welcome to remain behind for this short service.
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. Whether you are a guest or regular attender we invite you 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 today.
