There will be no Sunday School or Youth Fellowship for the next 3 Sundays due to the school October holiday period.  They will both resume on Sunday 30 October.

The Ladies’ Bible Study Group meets in the Church Hall on Tuesdays from 10.30 am to 12.00 noon.   All ladies welcome.

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 !

Harvest Thanksgiving :  In addition to the wonderful quantity of food donated, the cash collections for Helping Hands amounted to £555.  A cheque for this amount will now be sent off to Helping Hands.

Ladies’ Bible Study Coffee Morning :  The event last Saturday raised the wonderful total of £687.40 for Macmillan Cancer Care.  Late donations can still be given to Catherine Stewart or Trevor Dee.  The Ladies’ Bible Study Group wish to thank all who supported this event.

Tea Pots / Coffee Pots : At the above event it became apparent that the church has an insufficient supply of these items for use at coffee mornings.  If anyone has a redundant tea pot or cafetieres please let Catherine Stewart (61 2316) know.
