Church Life @ MUC : An Update!

31/1/2022

0 Comments

 
​Main Hall - The contractors have been contacted and  arrangements made for the floor to be fixed at the end of  November. We really look forward to this and the resumption of  church life there 

Falcon Road Flat -
The Elders agreed to end the commercial rent for  the flat. Now, by arrangement with Link Housing Association and  Edinburgh Council, the flat is being leased by the Housing  Association for a Afghan refugee family. 


Max Carsely -
Max would like to extend his grateful thanks to all  who contributed to his farewell gift. He is deeply grateful for your  help and says he feels blessed to have worked at MUC. He hopes to  return to visit us from Berlin at Christmas. 


Organ -
Max has been temporarily replaced by Evan Cruikshank.  Brigitte Harris is helping too. Meantime the Elders will look at  longer term arrangements in the next few months 


Online services -
These will resume. We have purchased a new  camera to enable this. Technology seems the way forward in the  economy of worship post pandemic. 


Romanian Orthodox Community -
The shared use of the church on  Sundays has proved very successful and it’s wonderful to be able to  offer support to this large community of Christians. 


Church of Scotland Parish Clusters & Mergers -
We shall hear this  month about future plans but meantime we seek to work more  closely with Marchmont St Giles 


Edinburgh Napier University -
We have been approached by Napier  University to look at developing part of the building for student 
wellbeing services. At the same time, we have been asked if Napier  could use part of the Church for classes because of the shortage of  accommodation caused by Covid. 

Book Group
– This month’s book groups will be held on 11 and 25  November. We are reading Lee Strobel’s book The Case for Faith.  


Children’s work –
The elders will be meeting shortly to discuss the  children’s work and we will have new proposals for the  congregation. 


Coffee Mornings
– These will be held on Thursday 4 & 18  November in the Small Hall. We look forward to seeing everyone.
