Great Scot – Sir William A. Smith, Founder of The Boys’ Brigade

Many of you may be aware of the Scottish Television programme ‘Greatest Scot’ that has been previewed over the last few weeks on STV.  Many of the nominees have been published already with 5 ‘Peoples Choices’  due to be announced on each of the 5 nights that the broadcast takes place starting 9th November (9-10pm on STV).  This weeks TV Times shows that the Peoples Choice nominee for the  programme on Wednesday 11th November is Sir William A. Smith (Founder of  The Boys’ Brigade).  This is tremendous for the Boys’ Brigade and you may want to  make plans to either watch or record the programme. It would be great if you could advise any ex-members and friends who may be interested in watching.

On-Line Survey

Allan Vint, the Presbytery Mission Development Officer is currently undertaking a survey on behalf of the Church of Scotland congregations in the Dunfermline Presbytery area.  It is important to us in the church to ‘hear’ the thoughts of those within the areas we serve – church members and those who are not. We have compiled a short online survey, in relation to Church, and invite you and your family, friends and colleagues to complete it.  Please direct others to this link: www.views.dunfermlinepresbytery.org.uk   The survey will take 5 minutes or so…  your views are important.  The information gathered and the resultant analysis will be of great benefit to Dalgety Church, and other congregations within the Presbytery.  Thank you for your time, and for sharing your views.

Mid Week Communion – Wed 28th 8pm

On the fourth Wednesday of each month (ex July and Dec) at 8pm there is an informal celebration of communion.  These services provide a quiet contemplative moment for refreshment, renewal and to receive God’s good gifts in the sharing of bread and wine. All are welcome to share in this worship, which will be in the Worship Area or in Room 4.

Wee Worship

All finished around 10.45am.
