We are opening the M.A. Hall for soup, teas and coffees to give people an opportunity to meet up with friends (and make new ones!), chat, read, play some board games or even do a jigsaw!
To facilitate this, we need six volunteers, two in the kitchen, door greeters and mixing in the hall. If you are willing to provide soup, we would like to hear from you. Please let Calum Murdo know if you are able to help in any way on 07717 495424 or by email to [email protected]).
Please pray that we would be able to share the love of Christ through these endeavours and that God would bless it to all those who attend.

Death: We were very sorry to hear that Mrs Christina Maciver (Chrissie Langley), Ivorhill, had passed away, aged 87.
We extend our condolences to her son Donnie and his wife Annie; daughter Mary Ann and her husband Kenny; and also her daughter Chrissie. We remember her grandchildren, Catherine Ann, Finlay, Innes, and Karen, with her partner Kevin, and also her great grandchildren, Isla, Logan, and Brodie.
We also extend our sympathy to her sisters, Sybil (in New Zealand) and Myra (in England). We pray that the family will know God’s comfort in this time of sorrow.
