Bible Basics

Bible Basics

For this year’s Bible Basics, we will do 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 year we will focus 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 in the Guild Room and will last around 60 – 90 minutes. The relevant materials will be provided.

Coffee Concert - Saturday November 15th at New Kilpatrick Church
Coffee Concert
Our Coffee Concert season will continue on Saturday, 15th November, but this time it will take place in New Kilpatrick Parish Church. We are extremely grateful that they have agreed to host our next recital with 'Apollo's Melody'.

 Apollo’s Melody, a flute and harp duo based in Glasgow, Scotland consisting of flautist Lily Brown and Harpist Yeva Panchenko.

Yeva is a harpist from Kyiv, Ukraine. After completing her Masters degree at the Tchaikovsky National Music Academy, she worked with National Orchestras and Ensembles of Ukraine, took part in studio recordings for the National Radio and Television of Ukraine. As part of symphony orchestra, she visited many countries in Europe, Great Britain, Asia and the Middle East. Nowadays she continues to teach students online from Ukraine, the UK and Japan. She currently continues her concert activity in Glasgow and is studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Lily has recently graduated from her Masters in flute performance at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where she had been studying under the tutelage of Ruth Morley, Helen Brew, Katherine Bryan, Georgia Browne, Janet Richardson and Luke Russell. She was the winner of the Governor’s Recital Prize for Woodwind 2024 and was awarded the David Nicholson Flute Award for Travel and Study. Lily and Yeva have enjoyed being coached as a duo by principal flute of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, André Cebrián.

They will perform a variety of works by Debussy, Ibert, Mozart and Saint-Saëns.
