Bible Basics

Bible Basics

For this year’s Bible Basics, we are doing something a bit different. In the past we have looked at specific Gospels and letters of Paul, and even the entirety of the Old Testament last year!

This series has focused down on just three chapters of Matthew’s gospel – Chapters 5 to 7 which comprise the ‘Sermon on the Mount’. This passage offers the most comprehensive and coherent example of Jesus’ teaching in the New Testament, and provides us with a model for the upside-down Kingdom values that Jesus taught. The ‘Sermon on the Mount’ includes the Beatitudes (“Blessed are the ...”), the Lord’s Prayer and the Golden Rule (“Do unto others ...”). This block of Jesus’ teaching offers many of the foundational values of our faith and so repays careful and deeper study.

‘Bible Basics’ is intended to offer a fairly gentle entry into Bible Study and is aimed at those curious to find out some of the basic stories and themes of the Bible. ‘Bible Basics’ will take place on Tuesday mornings at 10.30am (11.00am on March 31st) in the Guild Room and will last around 60 – 90 minutes. The relevant materials will be provided.

Christian Aid Week  10th to 16th May

As in recent years, the churches of Bearsden will be distributing a flyer round our parishes with details of how to give online during Christian Aid Week.

The Bearsden Churches Christian Aid Week JustGiving page has been set up.
To donate use the link here.

It is planned to have Christian Aid Week envelopes available at church,  if that suits you better. Although they would need to be brought back to the church as the 'house to house' round the parishes will be a leaflet drop without a collection side.


Coffee Concert, Saturday May 16th - Proceeds to Christian Aid

On Saturday 16th May we finish the current series of concerts with a special charity concert for Christian Aid.

We are delighted to welcome back once again Vocal Students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Fresh coffee and home baking will be served beforehand from 10.45 am in the hall, with the concert in the church at 11.30 am. Tickets, minimum suggested donation £15, will be available at the door – cash only please. We look forward to seeing you then.
