Thanks for your generous support of this community project.

Don’t forget to place any prayer requests into the striped box in the vestibule.

In a busy, noisy world, join us as we make space for some quiet reflection...

Centenary Poppies Project:
last year we marked the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI by creating a large knitted poppy display.
Nikki would like to gather a small band of volunteers to help detach the poppies
from the display – over a cuppa either a morning or afternoon.
The Centenary poppies will then be available for purchase via donation [min. £1]
and all monies raised will be given to both Help for Heroes and Poppy Scotland.
UPDATE: WE WILL BE MEETING THURS 10.30am in the Church Hall
[there'll be cake!!]
