Other Things We Do
Child Protection Coordinator Contact: Session Clerk
To provide protection for the young children within the church and to
encourage safe practice. All people who work with, or are responsible
for, children are trained and registered.
Maintaining this register of local workers and checking the accuracy of
its content is the responsibility of the coordinator. Any difficulties
are reported to the Minister and Session Clerk and dealt with according
to procedures established by the Church of Scotland.
Flowers
Contact: Marjory Goldsmith
The fresh flowers arranged for each Sunday service are donated by one or
more of our members, often on a date special to them.
At the end of the service the flowers are delivered to folk in
Haddington to let them know that we are thinking of them at a
particularly difficult or happy time in their lives.
If you would like to help or donate on a special Sunday, perhaps sharing
with another, we would like to hear from you.
Life and Work
Contact: Isobel Brown
The magazine historically looked at issues pertaining to the Church. In
recent months, there has been a change of emphasis to include
controversial issues e.g. cloning and, as a consequence, it is enjoying
a higher profile. There are 12 copies of
Life & Work published each
year. Please contact Isobel Brown to order copies or to have a preview
to decide if you would like to subscribe.
Prayer Secretary
Contact:
Charlotte Crawford
“Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and
petition with thanksgiving present your request to God” (Phil 4 v6)
The prayer secretary’s role is to share the responsibility for the
promotion and development of prayer within the congregation and to this
aim we have held a prayer workshop and half nights of prayer.
Morning prayer meetings are twice weekly in the church - Tuesday 8am-9am
and Friday 7am-8am - and are open to all who would like to come along.
Should you require prayer for yourself or for someone else please make
use of the prayer box in the church or contact me by phone.
World Mission Representative Contact: TBA
World Mission is more than just a phrase. It’s about global connections,
it’s about two-way traffic, sharing Christ and learning from each other,
it’s about being involved and it’s about partnership. The Church of
Scotland has many contacts and partnerships with churches around the
world. In Haddington West alone we have friends in Brazil, Zambia,
Israel and Malawi.
Board of Social Responsibility. Congregational Contact: TBA
The Board is the largest voluntary social work agency in Scotland and
through its congregational contacts maintains a link between the board
and local churches. The Board’s newspaper the “Circle of Care” is
available from the church.
