Advent Course
Join us for our Advent Course this year at All Saints – we are sharing in this with our friends at St Andrew’s, Milngavie.
The course will be held on Thursday afternoons November 23rd and 30th and December 7th and 14th in All Saints church choir vestry at 3.00pm.
We are using Paula Gooder’s Advent book The Meaning is in the Waiting as the basis of our course.
Paula Gooder provides a profoundly biblical guide to the season of Advent and we explore its central theme of waiting in the company of the biblical characters who feature prominently in the lectionary readings for the season: Abraham and Sarah who waited for a child, Isaiah and the prophets who waited for judgement and redemption, John the Baptist whose role was to wait in the wilderness until the prophecies he foretold were realised, Mary whose waiting began in pregnancy and continued as she stood at the foot of the cross.
This offers an exquisite meditation on the spirituality of waiting – the active doing of nothing – as a way of enhancing our lives and bringing us closer to God.
Remembrance Sunday
This Sunday (November 12th) is Remembrance Sunday and All Saints will join other churches and organisations in a service outside at 10.40am for about half an hour.
In church there will be sheets for the use of people who prefer not to stand outside but still want to be a part of the remembering and there will be appropriate organ music played, then we will return from the outdoor community service and continue in church with the second half of Communion.
We have decided to livestream from church as usual, so Zoom will show a somewhat static church scene with the organ playing at the usual time then things will continue as usual when we return.
The sheet is available by clicking the link at the bottom and for Zoom log in details please contact andrew.long200@ntlworld.com or dguest@glasgow.anglican.org

Harvest Festival
Wednesday Lunch Group
The Wednesday Lunch Group restarts on Wednesday 20th September at noon in the Drymen Hall.
As ever, come along for home-made soup, filled rolls and home-baked cakes in the company of convivial friends. We aim to meet very Wednesday until Christmas with a similar period of lunches between Christmas and Easter.
Please pass the word around to all past attenders, and do bring along any other friends who you think might enjoy the food and the company.
The usual quota of special events will be included in the programme, including a variety of speakers and the Christmas party in December.
On a first Wednesday of the month you are warmly invited to attend a short Said Communion service in church beforehand at 11.30am.
Farewell to Jeremy
We said a fond farewell to our magnificent organist and choirmaster Jeremy Wan on Sunday, August 20th, as he left us to head south to Guildford Cathedral to be organ scholar.
Jeremy, who is from Hong Kong, has been the Lafine Organ Scholar at the University of Glasgow. He restarted the All Saints church choir, which stopped during lockdown, and has been a considerable, enthusiastic asset to our church during his time with us.
During the service we sang one of Jeremy’s favourite hymns, For the fruits of his creation, with a tune by Francis Jackson.
Rev David presented Jeremy with a book about English Church Music, money and a card signed by the congregation during the service, then members of the choir presented him with another “liquid gift” and card in the church hall afterwards.
