'Question Time' at High Kirk

Being staged in association with CARE, it will feature candidates standing in the Westminster election who have agreed to be quizzed, especially about their views on issues that impact our community today and about which Christians are concerned.

All are welcome to the event which begins at 7.30p.m.

The wider '40 Days of Community' event, is a series of talks, studies and practical action based on material written by Rick Warren the author of The Purpose Driven Life.

As part of the project people are attending services throughout April and May that highlight the theme of what it means to be a real community of faith.

The congregation will also be following forty days of individual readings and attending a weekly small group.

As part of this, each group is being encouraged to do one act of practical service in the community.

So over the next six weeks groups of people will be involved in everything from washing cars, to picking up litter, to giving blood, to reading to residents in Care Homes.

Lorraine McAllister the Outreach Worker at High Kirk has been responsible for arranging a wide variety of projects.

She says "Jesus calls us to love each other and we as a church want to show that love to the wider community not just for these forty days but every day. But this is a good opportunity to start to do this and to care for our community."
