Presbytery of Hamilton

11/01/2022

On 1st January a new Presbytery came into being - the Presbytery of Forth Valley and Clydesdale - formed by the union of the former Hamilton Presbytery and the former Lanark Presbytery. New Presbytery, new page, so head over here: https://www.facebook.com/FVandCPres and don't forget to like and follow so that you can keep up to date with what's happening in the new enlarged area as well as seeing all the things you've been used to finding here. This page will be taken down shortly.

I know it's a little bit late, but none the less, best wishes for 2022 to all those who like and follow the Presbytery of Hamilton FB page...except that there isn't a Presbytery of Hamilton any more! Some of you may know that as of 1st January we have united with Lanark Presbytery and are now called the Presbytery of Forth Valley and Clydesdale. There is a new FB page to like and follow and I'll still be posting interesting and useful things there. Watch out for the post tomorrow with a link...but for the meantime...

May we not keep our blessings, but give them away
so that others may learn new dance steps
so children might be fed
so bridges might be built
and so grace may flow to all in your world
