Easter Monday Thought. Hope you enjoy. ☺️

We had a super Easter Conference with excellent meetings and a busy church. It was lovely to see so many out and to catch up with some of our English friends.

Despite the storms on Saturday night we had our Easter walk. Around 30 turned up for that along with many more for breakfast. Our wee church was packed on Easter Sunday morning for the service. It was good to see. There was a good number of visitors and several new young men who had come on the walk with us.

This week our timetable is a bit quieter.

7th Tuesday - house groups and Bible Study are OFF this week.

8th Wednesday - Newmains Meeting is on.

12th Sunday Morning 10:30 am & Evening 6:30 pm is on.

Have a blessed week. A group of us are taking an Easter Service at Shotts prison this afternoon and then I’m going for a long rest…

Blessings to y’all

A lovely Thought brought to us by Tiffies this week 🥰.

We had a good weekend.

Saturday morning: I received a warm welcome at Women’s Aglow in Greenock and several came for prayer at the end of the morning.

Sunday morning was busy and a lovely service. We didn’t have any new folks (that I noticed) but we had a beautiful time together in the presence of the Lord.

Sunday afternoon we had the privilege of visiting a new business venture set up on the south side of the city. We met some lovely people and were invited to pray for God’s blessing on this new initiative. I loved the moment of standing in the middle of the office surrounded by strangers to pray a blessing, and what a presence came. It was good 😀

Sunday evening was quiet although we had 4 visitors who came along to hear Graeme S speak. There came a strong grip before the night was through.

Once again, we are so grateful to God for His wonderful provision.

This week our timetable is:

Tuesday
Prayer Meeting Cumbernauld Church 8 pm

Wednesday
Newmains Meeting 7:30 pm

Thursday
• G4:12 Youth Service Age:9-16’s Cumbernauld Church 7 - 8:30 pm

Good morning and here is another lovely Thought from Mark. I hope you enjoy.

We had a lovely weekend. I’m really enjoying having the Saturday nights in the smaller hall. We are managing to pack in about 130 chairs and no one has had to sit in the corridor yet! It reminds me of the old camp meetings at Wiston when we were packed in like sardines!

Bethany took the singing, Stuart testified and I preached. There were some new folks with us who responded for ministry. We had a lovely worship time. It was a good night.

On Sunday we felt extra busy. We had a few new folks with us which was nice. They seemed to enjoy the meeting. It always looks much busier when both Bible Classes are in the service as it’s an extra 30 bodies. Graham preached on forgiveness. We practiced our choir song for the second time and it was so good it sent chills down my spine. I hope everyone can make it to sing at the Easter conference.

This week our timetable is as follows:

Tuesday 17th: Bible Study & Prayer Meeting 8 pm Cumbernauld Church

Wednesday 18th: Newmains Meeting 7:30 pm Newmains Church

Sunday Morning 10:30 am Evening & 6:30 pm Cumbernauld Church

I’m speaking at Women’s Aglow, Barnard’s Court Mission, East Hamilton St, Greenock. PA15 2TD on Saturday morning if anyone wants to come along
10 am.

Hope to see you on the circuit at some point.

God bless, Diana

“I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9:1 ESV

It seems fitting that at the end of the year, we should give thanks to the Lord with our whole hearts and recount all of His wonderful deeds among us. I’m grateful on such occasions that I keep a journal so that I can give an accurate account of what has happened throughout the course of 2025. I’m also aware that not every year has been so outwardly blessed as this year. On occasions, we “toiled all night and took nothing!” (Luke 5:5 ESV) But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t rejoice when we see the harvest.

One of my earliest memories of this year was turning the inside of the church around in mid-January because we were so busy. By using the platform for seating and facing the seating the opposite way, we created an extra 30 seats. To my joy and dismay, an additional twenty folks walked in that first morning! Dismay because I thought I had a good plan up my sleeve to create more space and joy as the work was growing. These new folks have remained with us.

We have had a busy year with two weddings, a funeral, two naming ceremonies, four dedications and nine baptisms in water. I have lost count of the number of salvations and baptisms in the Holy Spirit. We have several new African families among us, and more local people coming than we’ve had for years. Our communion numbers have increased by forty from last year.

Our Sunday Schools and Bible Classes are brimming over with young people, and our workers rejoice when they’re not on a rota and manage to get into the services!

I’m grateful to all who have pulled their weight, whether it be in the sound system, working the overhead projectors, children’s rotas, coffee shop, door duty, security, ushering, planning, maintenance, treasury work, websites, keyholders, safeguarding, data protection or cleaning. It has been a team effort.

We have started ten house groups this year, and I’m very pleased to say that when I met with the leaders of the house groups at the end of the year, all of them were encouraged and wanted to continue into 2026.

It’s been a year of the blessing of God, and we’ve felt very humbled to witness the work of God so abundantly among us. It wouldn’t be right to play it down, but rather we rejoice and exult in Him.

“I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.” Psalm 9:2 ESV

And my hopes for 2026. Well, when you read on in Luke’s gospel, you read:

“They enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.” Luke 5:6-7 ESV

May the Lord’s work continue to grow until all our boats are filled.

Amen
