It is always wonderful for the Dundee Congregational Church to support community activities in Dundee.

On Saturday 14th September, the Lord and Lady Provost attended a service in the Congregational Church in Dundee to lay up the previous Standard for The War Widows Association and welcome in the new Standard.

The service was conducted by The Reverend Bob Wightman with The Lord Provost providing one of three speeches made at the service. Following the service, light refreshments were on offer in the church hall.

Was good to see everyone at church on Sunday. Also,thanks to those who watched on line. A reminder to sign up for our mailing list.

Our minister, Alan, is back this Sunday (22nd).

This Sunday is our Harvest Thanksgiving and we continue our sermon series with the oldest of the trades. The Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee. The Bakers, and their history can be found here. https://www.ninetradesofdundee.co.uk/the-nine-incorporated-trades/bakers/

Lots of local family names come up in the history.

Sermon title ‘Our Daily Bread’ Matthew 6:1-15

Bakers – The Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee The Baker, or Baxter, Trade as it was originally known, has always been first in the order of precedence of the Crafts. There is no record of why this is so, but surely producing ‘the staff of life’ their place would be virtually automatic.

Next Sunday (8th)we continue the Nine Trades with the Butchers. Their history can be found here. https://www.ninetradesofdundee.co.uk/the-nine-incorporated-trades/fleshers/

Sermon title ‘What is holding us back’ Acts 11:1-9

Fleshers – The Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee From the earliest times there must have been considerable rivalry between the various Trades. The best record of this comes from one of the most obvious pieces of satire to be publicly displayed in Dundee.

If you are in Tesco this week, check the post from our friends at Dawson Park Community Garden

Just a quick reminder...

We are one of three nominated local charities at Tesco’s for which you can vote. All three charities will receive a donation but the charity that gets the most votes gets a little more. We were in the lead at Tesco’s in Monifieth but the boxes have now been emptied for the new month. We’d love it if you could vote for us at Tesco’s in the Ferry, at the filling station on Dalhousie Road or in the supermarket in Monifieth. Pop a few blue tokens in the SAMH box and help us get that little extra. Please share and thanks from everyone at the garden for your support 🥰

Ready for worship. See you at 11.
