to mark the Centenary of war's end, 1918-2018.
A request to knit or crochet poppies has been met with a brilliant response from
all around the parish. Sunday 28th was the final Sunday to get the poppies in,
so that we could begin to make our wee banner for the church.
Given the response, some window decorating will also be done making use of the
remaining poppies, including a window representing others caught up in the conflict,
such as children - who may have lost a father, or both parents, family members,
or even their own lives.
Huge thanks to all who helped in some way, the response has been humbling.
On Wednesday a small team gathered in the hall, and began the task of assembling
the banner. In the pic. below you'll see them mid-banner.
The banner itself is now hanging in the church in the days now leading up to
Remembrance Sunday itself.
Shortly after the service on the 11th, all poppies will be available for a minimum donation of £1, and monies raised will be divided between Poppy Scotland and Help for Heroes. Let us know if you'd like
any via the 'Contact us' form on the side bar of the page.
