Salvation Army Collection
At this time of year the local branch of the Salvation Army help a considerable number of individuals and families in our community. There will be an opportunity for the congregation to contribute to this work by donating either toiletries (can be everyday or gift packs) or gifts for whole families (such as a box of biscuits/chocolates or family board games) - all items must be new and unused. Items can be placed in the box inside the hall door. Today is the last date for donations.
Gifts will be sorted and packaged by volunteers on Wednesday 18th December at the Salvation Army Hall from 9.30am - if anyone is able to help with this, please contact Elaine Macmillan, 07876 225120.
Office Closed
Please note the Church Office will be closed from Monday 16th December 2019 to Monday 6th January 2020 as Mairianne Campbell is on annual leave. Please send any items for the bulletin to Lorraine Shewan – [email protected].
Mairianne, Youth work and Admin Assistant, would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who assist with the Admin, Communications and Youth Work in the Congregation week in week out. It is a beautiful picture of the body of Christ working together, thank you very much for your dedication. To God be the glory. Wishing everyone a restful Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Sunday 22nd December
There will be a Christmas Congregational Fellowship in the hall after the evening service. Similar to last year’s fellowship, we will have some carols to sing, mince pies to eat, a quiz to take part in and a few other goodies as well. We want this to be a family occasion. The quiz will be set at level “easy” (the minister has promised!) so that the children can take part and all the children who come will get something! Do please come.
