Dear Friends in Clincarthill,<\/p>\n
May I wish you a very Happy New Year and may God be with us all and Bless us in the 2016.\u00a0 May I thank everyone who contributed to the services and activities during the Advent and Christmas season. It was a wonderful time to meet and celebrate the Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and it is good to find God\u2019s people filled with the Joy of Christmas.<\/p>\n
But here we are at the beginning of another year. January is normally a quiet month but the organisations are all continuing with the Wednesday Prayer meetings every week, the monthly Prayer Breakfast and Healing service. The Lunch club resumes on Friday January 8th<\/sup> and the Whist drive on Saturday, January 9th<\/sup> . The Guild begins the second half of it\u2019s session on Monday, January 11th<\/sup> and the Coffee club meets on Tuesday, January 12th<\/sup> at 10am. The Youth organisations all continue with their programmes also.<\/p>\n As we step into 2016, we are all aware that we are still in vacancy, so we should continue in prayer for the minister, chosen by God for Clincarthill , to be revealed to us. I am aware that the congregation is anxious, but please be assured that the Nominating committee is working hard to find our new minister. The vacancy has been advertised in the usual ways. The committee have written to Probationers, Graduate candidates and serving ministers drawing attention to the vacancy and have visited other churches to hear prospective candidates lead worship,\u00a0 in addition to hosting visits from prospective ministers.<\/p>\n Time is passing, but I urge everyone to be patient, the right person is out there and the Nominating committee will continue in their efforts on your behalf . As we stand at the door of the New Year let us step out, putting our hands into the hand of God who will guide us on the right path.<\/p>\n God bless,<\/p>\n Sheila Morrow<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Friends in Clincarthill, May I wish you a very Happy New Year and may God be with us all and Bless us in the 2016.\u00a0 May I thank everyone…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8z2vw-ce","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":705,"url":"https:\/\/www.clincarthill.org.uk\/index.php\/letter-from-our-session-clerk-nov-2015\/","url_meta":{"origin":758,"position":0},"title":"Letter from our Session Clerk \u2013 Nov 2015","author":"admin","date":"1 November 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Dear Friends in Clincarthill, How the time flies, it seems no time at all that I was writing the letter for October\u2019s magazine.
