Welcome to Paisley St George’s

Our Minister – Rev Hazel Shaw

Hello friends,
There is so much news to share and I’m very thankful to everyone who contributes to our church. I do hope that you will enjoy reading our latest magazine which includes all that is happening – something for all ages – Worship services and Concerts,
Toddlers and Badminton, Uniformed organisations and Prayer walks, Choirs and Crafts, Guild and Men’s breakfast and these are but a few. Please read it and get involved wherever you can.

I am delighted to share that our Church family is growing; adult & infant baptisms, plus new members joining. We look forward to March for another baptism and the admission of more new members by Profession of Faith – exciting times.

Sadly, however we have recently lost some dear friends who are now at rest and although we miss them, we give thanks for their lives, their faith and their friendship.
At our most recent evening service I shared about us being called Salt and Light.
Two ordinary and everyday ways that we are to share our faith with one another in church and in our wider community. Salt to give flavour, to preserve what is good and to positively impact everyone we meet. Light too, to shine for God, to reveal the love of Jesus and to be a beacon that draws others to Christ.

My hope and prayer this Lent is that we will shine brightly and grow in love for God and each other. May God bless you all .
Your friend and minister,
Hazel

Paisley St George’s is a congregation serving Paisley with our church in Causeyside Street in the town centre, and our parish extending to include large areas of the town including the Glenburn area.

The congregation has roots going back to 1738 when the Laigh Kirk opened to reduce pressure on the Paisley Abbey who were then having three services each Sunday due to the growing population of Paisley. Between 1738 and now, the congregations that now make up Paisley St George’s represent 1,117 years combined ministry to the people of Paisley – something we are proud to continue in 2026.

Church of Scotland in Israel and Palestine
Not one of us can fail to be moved by the scenes from Israel-Palestine. We find it hard to understand the multi-layered political situation. We watch the graphic images and we pray for peace. As you know the Church of Scotland has a presence in Israel-Palestine and some of you, like me, will have worshipped in this land. To help people respond to the crisis, the Church of Scotland has gathered resources to help individuals and congregations understand the situation better and how to respond to it.
This page will be updated with news, events and resources as they become available.
