News, info, looking ahead: wk beg. 24 Feb


CHURCH NEWS/ What's on:

Church quiz: our Social Committee has produced a fiendish fun/fund-raiser.
Test your brain cells on the not as simple as you might think
nursery rhymes and games quiz devised by Isobel T.
Copies of the quiz are £1 and can be bought from members of the Committee.
All proceeds go to church funds. Prize £10
[in case of multiple correct entries, a ‘blind’ draw will take place to produce the winning entry]

Parish magazine – Easter edition: With 8 weeks to go till Easter, Dee is looking
for articles for our Easter magazine. If you have a story you wish to share -
a past Easter that sticks in your mind, or what your favourite Easter hymn/ poem is and why,
or anything else on an Easter theme, the deadline is 3 March.

Minister’s time off this week will be: Monday.

Fri 1 March, 2.30pm: World Day of Prayer with our friends at Rigside Guild.
If transport is needed, please contact Heather Watt.

Sun 3 March, 10.30am: Communion. Join us as we gather together
to share in the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey,
it is the Lord’s table and he welcomes all to share.
Also, beginning 3rd March - Food Bank Donations Box:
Over the Sundays of March, we will have a box in which to leave
dry/ tinned goods/ basic hygiene products for the Clydesdale Food Bank.
If you have items to donate, that would be excellent:
we shall make sure they get to their destination!
And, a busy day on the 3rd - 3.30pm ,'Faith and Film': 'Les Miserables'
[the recent film version] will be on at the Manse -
for those in the discussion group this serves as background prep.
but the film itself is open to all who'd like to come and watch...
Pull up a chair, grab some popcorn - singing along optional

Faith and film - ‘Les Miserables’: 5 week discussion group -
this year’s Lent study features ‘Les Miserables’ as our discussion starter. Each week through Lent, we'll explore themes from the film that tie in with faith.
A book ‘Another story must begin’ by Jonathan Meyer [£5.99], will be used to help our discussion. Nikki is happy to order this for you if you’re interested.
Please let her know if you’d like to join the group/ would like a copy of the book by Sun 24 Feb. Time and place tbd, but 3.30pm Sundays at the manse is one available option.
