We continue our summer services (joining together without our neighbouring congregation in Cambusnethan Old Church) for the next two weeks of August. Worship will be held on Sunday 1st and 8th in Cambusnethan North Church, at the earlier time of 10.30am. All are welcome!
Our joint summer services begin tomorrow 4th July in Cambusnethan Old at 10.30 am. Tomorrow the theme will be ‘faith’, on 11th July it will be hope and on 18th July it will be love. We look forward to welcoming visitors as well as our ‘regulars’.

Solas2010 is an entirely new and exciting venture happening in Scotland this weekend (25th-27th June) at Wiston, Biggar and includes a great line up of speakers and music. Organisers described it as:
… an independent festival, made in Scotland, with the support and co-operation of our partner organisations Greenbelt and Christian Aid Scotland.
Solas – an all-age weekend to light up the Scottish festival landscape with a vivid mix of music, debate, theatre, comedy, film and visual art – a unique location to celebrate and question our commitments to art, faith and justice within Scotland’s cultural life.

A photo recently added to Cambusnethan North Church’s photography blog was a reminder of a saying of George MacLeod, founder of the Iona Community. He said:
Follow the light you have
and pray for more light
Some members of Cambusnethan North Church join the walks organised by a local group, spending time exploring the great outdoors (and the, at times, unpredictable weather!) in nearby places. It’s a good chance to catch up with others and get out and about. The group has provided a list of summer walks here – and if you’re interested in coming along please contact Rev. Mhorag
The next walk is expected to be on 30 June 2010, to Greenhead Moss (the Secret Pond) and will be led by Cathie.
