Sherwood Greenlaw Guild

 

 

The Guild is a movement within the Church of Scotland which invites and encourages both women and men to commit their lives to Jesus Christ and enables them to express their faith in worship, prayer and action.

 

The Guild’s aim has been underlined in our motto which is taken from Acts 27, verse 23:

 

"Whose we are and Whom we serve."

 

The Guild is about invitation, encouragement, commitment, and fellowship which leads to providing opportunities for continuing growth in Christian faith through worship, prayer and action.

Worship is an essential ingredient in all meetings and activities. Prayer underpins everything - and is a means of involving those members who cannot be active in other ways.

 

Our Guild currently has 51 members and meets on Mondays – monthly at 1.30pm and fortnightly at 7.30pm.

World Day of Prayer

The Scottish Committee  invited the Paisley group to join others from across Scotland at a special meeting in Beith Trinity.  The guests were Eileen King (International Executive Director)  and Helga Hiller (WDP Historian) who work in the American office.  We heard of the history of WDP and how they work with countries to put together services for 3 years before they take place. They offer this help to enable women in a lot of countries who do not otherwise have opportunities to speak out to others worldwide and voice their concerns for their country. Any women (or men) who  have never attended a WDP meeting  will have a chance to do so on Friday March 5th next year. The 2010 service has been devised by the women of Cameroon entitled ‘Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!’ Watch this space for more details of the 2010 services.
