This Sunday at EBC…

Beginning our time together with Pre Gathering Prayer & then moving into a time of quiet reflection & prayer, remembering & honouring those who have sacrificed much.

We will then be going deeper into the OT book of Esther as part of our ‘Standing Out’ teaching series.

If you have a testimony of how this series is speaking into your life - we’d love you to share that with us.

What a special Sunday at EBC!

Following on from the incredible time at Altars Scotland, we heard from members of our SLT as they shared some of their experiences and reflections from the conference. It was wonderful to hear how God has been at work!

We were also delighted to welcome Kenny & Morag Borthwick, with Kenny bringing us a message from Ephesians 5:25–28.

We were challenged to consider how we love the church and one another, reflecting the sacrificial love that Christ has for His church. It was an opportunity to reflect, recognise where we need to confess, and return to the kind of love God has called us to show one another. A timely reminder of what it means to love as Christ loves us. 🙌

We also took time to say goodbye to Philda as she prepares to move away. We are so thankful her, and for her incredible prayers and faithfulness!

God loves Scotland, and is on the move! 🙏 ...

We are thrilled to have Rev Kenny Borthwick preach at EBC this Sunday, following the first Altars Scotland event in Edinburgh.

Niall & Pam, EBC Pastors are honoured & privileged to serve @altars_scotland and are expectant with the Altars Core Team for all God wants to do in Scotland over this coming weekend.

Riodhna, EBC Ministry Associate, continued our ‘Standing Out’ teaching series today in Esther Chp 1&2. 👑✝️🔥

We focused on:
| A world of power and pride.
| An unlikely woman in an unexpected place.
| A God who works behind the scenes.

Our reflection/application questions going into this week ahead are:
| Where might pride be shaping me?
| Am I faithful in the place where I find myself?
| Can I trust God when I cannot see the bigger picture?

Thank you Riodhna for unpacking this brilliantly & bringing God’s Word to us today.

We also took time this morning to pray together for @altars_scotland & for God to deepen our prayer & worship life as a local church.

Tonight was our Make Room space and we were crying out in desperation to God echoing the words from Psalm 84:2 ‘my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God’.

Thanks to ALL teams who served across the church today - you are all wonderful & EBC Youth we LOVE having you at Make Room.

| We considered what might happen in each space we go to/live in (clubs/socials/family/work/school/college/uni etc) if we prayed 3x a day like Daniel - giving thanks & asking God for help - Daniel 6:10-11


| We heard some honest & encouraging testimonies of how our ‘Standing Out’ series was speaking into individual lives. 🙌🏼💛🙌🏾

| We also prayed & honoured @samuel.john.rae as he moves to @abbeyhillbaptistchurch to take up his new role as worship co-ordinator there.
We are cheering you on Sam & all at Abbeyhill. 🫶🏻
