For it is written: “He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.” 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. Sunday school for all P1-S2 children 3.30pm-church hall 6pm service – led by Mr John Hebditch The Week Ahead Mon 6 June- 7.30pm Monthly meeting Tuesday 7th June- 7.30pm Holiday Club meeting (church hall) Wed 8th June – 7.30pm Midweek prayer meeting (church hall) th Services next Sunday 12th June 2016 11am service – (church hall) Rev Murdo Smith On crèche: Cairstiona & Morag 6pm service – (church hall) Rev Murdo Smith Dates for Diary   Wednesday 15th June - We host the Presbytery Joint Church Service at 7.30pm.
