All are welcome to this shorter, more informal time of worship. Home baking and a cuppa will be available after worship with the chance for a blether.

Remembrance Centenary poppies: many thanks to everyone involved in our poppy project! It was a great response, and the display looked stunning. The Centenary has passed, and the display is now down. The poppies will be extracted from the nets and gathered together, and we'll be offering them for donations of £1 minimum, from October, 2019, in the lead-up to next year's Remembrance Day.
Monies raised will be given to Poppy Scotland and Help for Heroes. Once again, thanks for your generosity of time, wool, and creativity.

Parish magazine: the Christmas edition - our usual call for volunteers to help with the distribution of our parish magazine. If you can deliver some to neighbours in your street, or several streets in your village...or to outlying areas, please see our Editor, Dee, who is coordinating areas. Huge thanks in advance - we can't do this without you, and always appreciate the willing offers of help!
The magazine should be available to collect from the 18th Nov.

Food Bank Box: 
Matt. 25:35 ‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, 
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink’ 
2 December, our food bank box will be appearing in the vestibule once again for donations of dry/ tinned goods/ toiletries for the Clydesdale Food Bank. If you have items to donate, that would be excellent: we shall make sure they get to their destination! Slightly longer ‘use-by’ dates would be helpful. The box will be uplifted after the 16th, to ensure items can be given out before Christmas.

2 Dec, 10.30am: We mark the beginning of Advent with our quarterly Communion service.
Please let friends and neighbours know. And, as ever, all are welcome at the table.
