Our Praise :  Normally at our morning services the items of Praise are taken from Church Hymnary Third Edition (CH3) and for the next few weeks, Archie MacDonald will precent Psalms from CH3

If you feel more comfortable sitting during the items of praise, please feel free to do so.

Crèche:    There is a crèche in the Church Hall behind the Church if anyone wishes to leave their children there during the morning service.

The Prayer Fellowship :  The group meets in the Manse at 7.00 pm each Tuesday evening.   All are welcome to attend.

Pastoral Visits :  The Minister asks that he would be kept informed of any member of the congregation who is ill, in hospital or would welcome a visit from him.

Food Bank : Members of the congregation are thanked for the wonderful response to the appeal for foodsfuffs to distribute to those in the community who are in desperate need.  It is hoped that such gracious giving will continue throughout the year.

Volunteers Needed Urgently :  Thee is an urgent need for additional support with the serving of After Morning Worship tea and coffee.  Your service would only be required once every 5 weeks.  If you can help, please give your name to Bill Marshall.

New Communicant Members :   Any Adherent who would wish to become a full communicant member of the church should speak to the Minister at the end of the service or contact him by telephone.   We would dearly love to see more Adherents take up full communicant membership of the church and take Communion on Pentecost Sunday, 04 June.
