News, events, and general notices:

Thurs 2 June, 7.30pm: 'Junction 13' tea, cake, and a blether: For anyone who has been a part of the community choir at any point, and for those who'd like to jump on board: an opportunity for a wee get-together to reflect on what we've been doing, how you think it's gone, and to see where we might go from here. Meet up in the Church Hall, Abington. See you there!

Sunday 5 June, 9.45: Singing group meets at church before worship - all are welcome to come along and have a wee practice of an easy to learn song for worship.

Thurs 9 June, 9-3: Guild outing to Moniave.
and
at 7pm, Writing Group: our first meeting of this new group will gather at the Colebrooke Arms Hotel, Crawfordjohn. All welcome.

Kirk Crafters’ group: all are welcome to come along to stitch, sew, cut, glue, get creative, and have a good blether. We next meet on Tues 7 June, from 7-9pm. Our current 'big project' in process is the creation of some long banners for the season of Advent. Our other wee project is to knit woolly hats for sailors - which are much appreciated! These will be given to Tim Bell, Port Chaplain at Leith, for distribution.

Church notices - volunteers: the minister is looking for volunteers who would read out the church notices before worship on Sunday mornings. Ideally, it would be great to have a team of 4-5 people, working on a rotational basis. Please let the Nikki know if you’d be willing to do this - and thanks for those who have already offered.
