INTIMATIONS
SERVICE OF INDUCTION A service of induction for the Revd Dr Sandy Forsyth has been arranged to take place on Sunday 17th January at 4.00pm. Due to the current lockdown restrictions, the service will be online only.
Futher update on Dr Forsyth’s induction:The service will be hosted entirely on Zoom. We are asked by Edinburgh Presbytery to register in advance, which can be done by clicking this link HERE. We appreciate that not everyone will have used Zoom, but perhaps others in your family, or neighbours, have done so. But if anyone would like any assistance in setting up the link, do let Charles Garland(This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or William Mearns(This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) know. If you would like to watch the service, it may be worth signing up now and then you will be ready for this important event a week on Sunday.
PASTORAL CARE Happy New Year to you all from the pastoral care team. A new year and new beginnings and if you would like to have a pastoral visitor or be added on to the telephone calls list, then do please contact me. For those of you involved in the various phone chains, thank you, and I would be grateful if you could keep them going during the current lockdown.

THANK YOU I should like to record my sincere thanks to the members of the Ministry Team and Anne Mulligan, the choristers, readers and stewards who contributed to the services online and in church throughout the Christmas Season. As my time as locum nears its end I should also like to record my appreciation of everyone whose skill and cooperation has enabled us to offer worship online and in church since the coronavirus struck in the Spring. You are too many to mention here by name but you are very much valued. In particular, the technological wizardly that the Organist Kate Pearson and Stuart Mitchell have brought to bear on their own musical skills and those of the Mayfield Salisbury Chamber Singers and Choir, and the Church Manager William Mearns’ expertise in producing the finished Order of Service week by week have been nothing short of amazing. I’m sure I speak for the whole congregation and many others who have joined in the worship over past months in thanking them all very sincerely. I know you aren’t finished yet! – and I also know you go on with much confidence and goodwill. Helen Alexander
MIDWEEK PEACE AND PRAYERS Midweek peace and prayers will not take place until further notice.
OFFERING The Church is very grateful to all those who continue to support it through their regular and one-off donations, now possible through standing order or the ‘give.net’ facility on the website give.net/20311853 So many members have kindly changed from Freewill Offering Envelopes to standing order that envelopes will not be distributed in future.
