UPDATE 24TH MARCH

We are now on the last study in the series looking at prayer, and it has been very interesting and helpful, challenging us to look at different ways to pray, what to do if our prayers are not answered, what we should be praying for, and just spending time with God, amongst other things.

Come along on Monday 31st March and have an input into what we will study next!

Setting The Bar High was the title of the sermon today here at Canonbie Church.

A challenging sermon, well worth a read! and some lovely hymns too, very inspirational!

Thank you to Rev Scott McCarthy who took the morning service on Sunday 9th February 2014.

Being a Christian is not just about an hour on a Sunday morning, but should be integral to our whole lives.  Is this the case for us? Does our faith make a difference to our lives? (George Monbiot)

Scott quoted Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his part in the plot to overthrow Hitler – would we be willing to go that far to live out our faith?

The Great And The Good was the title of Sunday’s sermon by Andrew Morton at Canonbie United Parish Church.

Unworthy or worthless? what is the difference and what does that mean for us? Would you like to know?

This Is My Son was the sermon given by Andrew Morton at Canonbie Church on Sunday 12th January 2014. Read it for yourselves and see if there are any answers in there!

The latest copy of the Chronicles is now available 19 Winter 1314 Public

The fourth and final Sunday in Advent was a busy day in Canonbie Church.

The Sunday School, led by Daan van Belzen, put on a shadow puppet show of the story of the Nativity, which was very well received, a new and interesting way of telling the story of Jesus birth.

Andrew Morton then went on to preach on the theme of Love Came Down.

We had a brief break and then at 14.30 was the Matinee of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ with mince pies and sherry.

There will be a service at 8pm tomorrow Christmas Eve which will be led by Andrew Morton, and again at 10am on Christmas Day morning, and that service will be led by the Elders.
