FFP Community News Post 7^th May 2026

Eileen’s message last Sunday was to do with being ‘Living Stones’. Stones have been around for all time, and have been used for various purposes throughout that time. Used to build different structures – used to mark important times or occasions – used as symbols lest we forget certain important people or times. In the first book of Peter, we are urged to be living stones, not only to build up one another, but to build up God’s church here in this place, founded on the cornerstone on Jesus. If you missed being at the church service, you can access the recording on our website langtouncentralchurch.org.uk. 

Eileen will be leading our worship again next Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Bennochy building. There will be Young Church activity bags available for all age groups, and those wishing to sing with the choir should meet with Richard Michael at 10 a.m.  Christian Aid Week begins next Sunday so there will be an austerity  Soup and Bread Lunch provided after the service to raise funds for that worthy cause.

Our buildings are both very busy all week with groups meeting.
