Sunday School and Youth Fellowship normally meet every Sunday during the school term.   They meet initially in the Church before moving to the Church Hall.

There will be no Sunday School or Youth Fellowship today due to the school holiday.  They will both resume next Sunday.

The Prayer Fellowship meets in the Church Hall at 7.00 pm each Tuesday evening.   All are welcome to attend.

Playing of the Organ / Electronic Organ in Church :  If anyone in the congregation has the ability to play the piano and thinks that they could help the church by playing on an occasional Sunday morning or evening we would be delighted for them to come forward and give their name to Sandor or Bill.

Please do not be concerned about any mistakes in playing.  The congregation will appreciate your willingness to come forward to play and remember, only God is perfect !

Retiral Offering :  A Retiral Offering will be taken at both services

today.   . As previously intimated, the September donations, along with the Harvest Donations will go to Helping Hands.

Blythswood Shoe Box Appeal :  Blythswood Shoe-Box forms are available in the Front Vestibule.

This year we plan to have all boxes donated by members of the congregation gathered at the front of the church.  It is being arranged that all churches and organisations collecting boxes bring these to our Church Hall for Saturday 26 November after which a short service will be held.
