We thank Jesus for Margaret. We are so thankful she is part of our church family and all love dropping things off in her shed!

It was a pleasure for some management staff to have a catchup cuppa & cake with our amazing long serving volunteer Margaret.

This lovely lady has lived a very active life of community service, from many years as a nurse to loyally supporting churches and our charity by activities such as coffee mornings, knitting and collecting items since the 1990s. Now at the grand age of 87 she still operates her famous shed in her Bridge of Don garden for locals to drop off donations. And she told us that she had another batch of knitted hats almost ready to go to the Ukraine ❤️

Our collections & deliveries team LOVE their collection runs to Margaret’s shed as she spoils them with treats! She really has a heart of gold.

Margaret shared that she has good days and bad days following the loss of her beloved husband Kenneth but keeps herself active and has wonderful support from her loving family. She still enjoys operating the drop off shed and the banter from our collection staff.

To know Margaret is to love her! Join us in sharing some love and appreciation for the wonderful woman she is.

Day of Prayer - tomorrow Thursday 28th May.

We're setting aside this day to pray as a church. In particular to pray for a new minister. We'd love to welcome all our local friends to join us in the building. Please come along to the church, anytime between 8am and 8pm to pray. No-one is expected to pray out loud, there will be suggestions on what you might like to pray for and some creative prayer stations if you enjoy connecting with God in that way.

If you're not local to Aberdeen, would you give some time tomorrow to pray for us. Pray for God to call and send us a new minister. Pray for the team responsible for looking for a new minister, pray they will know without a doubt who God is calling to join us. Pray for our community, that they would experience and know the love of Christ and respond to his offer of salvation. And pray for our church family, that we would continue to stand firm on the gospel of Jesus Christ, united in our love for him and serve him faithfully in our community. Thank you.

The church will be open tomorrow from 8am-8pm. Don't miss out on being part of this special day. Come when you are able and stay as long as you can.
