Worship Leading and Preaching in a Single Circuit

Are you interested in how worship leading and preaching might be offered and organised in a Single Circuit in Scotland?  If so, please consider becoming part of a small team to look at how a single circuit might best provide guidance, support and development for all those involved in the leading of worship and preaching across Methodist and Methodist/ecumenical congregations in mainland Scotland.  Hopefully, the team will be able to come up with a new way of working to be implemented from September 2025, including peopling the different roles (Circuit & District WLP secretary and tutor(s)).

Requirements: an interest in and commitment to worship – it is not necessary to be a worship leader or local preacher.

If you would like to be involved in this, please email the current WLP district secretaries, Anne and Carol lpwl@methodistchurchinscotland.net and/or the district tutor, Jill Baker ejillbaker@btinternet.com

World Day of Prayer – Friday 1st March

Broughty Ferry Service: in St Luke’s and Queen Street (5 West Queen Street, DD5 1AU) at 2 pm.

This year’s theme is “I beg you bear with one another”, using material from Christian women of Palestine.

(During my 17 years on Scottish WDP Committee, we frequently remarked on the relevance of the theme to current events, sometimes unexpectedly so – that relevance is particularly striking this year, Jenny)
