Dunlop Kirk is open for morning worship on 21st November please come and join us about 11.15 am.
If you would like to join us just come along!
If you are not able to join us in person you'll be able to join worship as it streams live in Dunlop Kirk at 11.30am.
The link to our Youtube Channel should appear on our Church Facebook page at 11.27am so you can hear Sadie playing the organ for a few minutes before the service begins. The service itself should last about 30 - 35 minutes, and once it is finished it will remain available to watch, so you don't need to be near a screen at 11.30am to see the service.
If you don't use Facebook, you should be able to access the service by clicking on this link to Dunlop Kirk's YouTube Channel.

Christmas Appeal East Ayrshire Churches Homelessness Action:
This year there will again be a collection for children affected by homelessness at Christmas.
Gifts and tinned goods may behanded into the church.
As many in the community are still not out shopping, there will be a cash collection to help with gifts for children
and the purchase of tinned goods for the residents in temporary accommodation, that is in the hostels
and temporary flats throughout East Ayrshire so that they can have a festive meal on Christmas day.
Norman has kindly agreed to have a collection can
for the Christmas Appeal on behalf of East Ayrshire Churches Homelessness Action (EACHa).
If you have gifts prepared please drop them at church, or
please contact: Margo McMurdo 01560 484824 or Lesley Beaton 01560 484989 and we will arrange collection.
We appreciate the support this appeal always receives from the congregation and the wider community.

We are most appreciative of all the support we receive from members and friends of our congregation and parish,
especially at this very difficult time.
Dunlop is a small, friendly village in rural Ayrshire.
We in Dunlop Parish Church of Scotland feel that our church is at the heart of the community.
We have a long and proud history of loving and serving the people of our parish, which also includes the communities of Burnhouse, Lugton, Newmill and the Halket.
Dear friends and neighbours, as this crisis develops it is increasingly clear that we need to avoid physical contact and stay at home as much as possible, so the church doors will have to remain closed.
We know that God is always active in our lives and our world.
There has been tremendous community spirit in the parishes of Caldwell and Dunlop, and we are seeing that reflected across the country.
I'm going to have a shot at using Facebook Live for a short time of reflection and prayer on Sunday morning. Look out for that on the Church Facebook pages. I'll also provide a range of on-line resources to help you worship in your own homes. Check the TV and Radio schedules for other Acts of Worship that you can watch or listen to.
Remember that physical distancing does not mean social distancing - we are social creatures and we can maintain our social contact by whatever means we have - on and off-line. Emails, phone calls, waving and smiling at a safe physical distance.
And we can pray - for our communities - people of all ages.
For all those whose lives and occupations are disrupted, and who are struggling with financial uncertainty.
For those who are working to maintain supply chains, and essential services. For our civic and religious leaders.
For all those who work in healthcare - in whatever capacity.
For researchers and scientists who are working to create treatments and a vaccine.
Keep caring for each other, as I know you are.
Please pass on my words here to anyone you know is not on-line.
Peace, and hope, and love be with you all,
Alison
