The Social Committee is made up of 4 members from each of the former congregations . Our aims are to help our church members get to know each other at social events, reach out to the wider community and along the way raise some money for the church. We have a varied programme of events planned for the following year and have tried to incorporate "old favourites" from each of the churches' calendars, and we hope to introduce new events which will be special to our new kirk.
The members of the social committee work very hard to bring all these events to life and they can always use a pair of helping hands. If you would like to help at any of these events you will be made most welcome. Come and speak to us at one of our events, or email us at social@lylekirk.org.
We are always happy to hear from anyone who has any suggestions for future events.

Church office is open each Thursday afternoon between 2.00 and 4.00pm. If any committees require help with copying or admin work please see the secretary at that time.

 

During the summer Greenock will welcome some 40 ships into Clydeport. Passengers from 32 of them will visit Lyle Kirk, Esplanade as part of the local tours organised by the Inverclyde Tourist Group.

If you enjoy meeting new people why not join the team of “meeters and greeters” on tour days, when the church is open from about noon until 2pm, depending on the tour timetables – and on the QE2 day will be open from 10am.  There is a list at the Information Point of dates and if you are available on any of them why not sign up. As there are a few German speaking tours and you are fluent in German you will be extra welcome!

 

Janet McArthur (the Rainbows leader) would like to start up a sewing group, not a class, to help each other and pass on skills on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. She is trying to gauge interest in this. If anyone would be interested could they contact her on 521938.

 

PRAY ACROSS SCOTLAND for the General Assembly Across the whole of Scotland in the week that precedes the opening of the General Assembly many people meet together to pray for work of the
Assembly. The Presbytery Prayer Group have arranged a Service in the Pirrie Hall at 7.30pm on 13th May. Silent prayer is as valuable as spoken. All invited. Tea and coffee after the Service.
