He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.      Tea/Coffee will be served after the morning service to which everyone is warmly invited Sunday school for all P1-S2 children 3.30pm-church hall 6pm service – led by Mr Iain Macmillan The week ahead Mon 5th Dec 7.30pm- Monthly meeting.
