Northesk Guild meets every 2nd Wednesday, at 2 pm. We welcome all to our meetings - from Northesk, other churches, and friends. We gather together in fellowship, prayer, learning and fun. Our Guild partner is Wardie Church, Edinburgh - we have been friends for 20 years now.
The Guild's 3 year Strategy is 'Let us Build a House' and the theme for this second year is 'Living Stones' - which we will look at throughout our year, and develop in our own way.
We continue to raise funds for the Guild projects. This year, we are supporting 'Bibles for Bairns' (Scottish Bible Society) which aims to offer every baby born in Scotland a free 'Share a Story' toddler bible on their first birthday, with other bible-related gifts each year to age 5, when they will receive an early reader bible. The other project we are supporting is 'Build my Church' (Bear Necessities). The charity operates a soup kitchen and medical clinic in a village in Bulgaria. Their bigger aim is to plant a church in the city of Sliven, which will not only provide worship and teaching, but also food, health care, and training and support for the church leaders.
