  • Our Hymn of Hope
    Scottish Charity No. SCOO7072 No. Scottish Charity Our Hymn of Hope & (Tune: Hosanna, loud Hosanna!) e We’re looking for a Minister of Sacrament and Word; Denny Westpark One who’ll dearly love us, one who clearly loves the Lord. You’ll need a sense of humour and the meekness of a lamb, The patience of a donkey when with Harry, Dot or Tam! The hide of a rhinoceros would come in handy too When people are insistent that you hear their point of view. You’ll work like any beaver, you’ll be stronger than an ox, And you’ll listen with attention to the one who talks and talks. You’ll work with other churches that make up Falkirk West, We’re all in this together and we must do our best to care for one another and promote real unity within the Church of Jesus and the whole community.

We will pledge our loyalty, our love and mutual trust! www.westparkchurch.btck.co.uk Clerk: Etta Eadie t: 01324 823 962 IM: Rev Phyllis Wilson e: [email protected] t: 01324 832 257 e: [email protected] Overview of Denny “Denny is not the bonniest of places at the moment.
