For the fruits of all creation thanks be to God...
The Lord has need of me.
His soldier I will be
He gave himself my life to win
and so I mean to follow Him
....The Lord has need of me, His soldier I will be.
JP 242: The Lord has need of me
CG 34: For the fruits
Let us build a house where love can dwell .......
CG4: Let us build
Great God, your love has called us here......
CG 45: Great God
Christ's is the world in which we move, Christ's are the folk we're summoned to love;
Christ's is the voice which calls us to care, and Christ is the one who meets us here.
CG 23: Says Jesus gather round
......Christ points to gifts that children bring,
the searching heart and lively mind......
Ride on, ride on in majesty .............
JP 209: Ride On
As we are gathered, Jesus is here
One with each other, Jesus is here...
CH4: As We Are Gathered
Longing for light, we wait in darkness,
Longing for truth, we turn to you.........
CG 21: Christ Be Our Light
CG 62: If you believe
CG9: Many Stones
As many stones, their edges rough, unhewn, may by their awkward shape lend others strength......
Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need, who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread;
we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on, renew us with your Spirit, Lord, free us, make us one
SGP 41: Help us accept each other
If you believe and I believe
And we together pray,
The Holy Spirit shall come down
And set God's people free ......
The Smiles Foundation is a Christian Charity who assist many of the people in Romania who live alone, in poverty and are desperate.
From a number of successful fundraising efforts which raised £8,000, a group representing Dalmellington Bellsbank Church, Coylton Parish Church and the Schaw Kirk Drongan went on a 10 day Mission there. The pictures below tell a small humbling part of the experiences of the group in their time of Mission.
Info on the Charity can be found at www.thesmilesfoundation.org
