Church Fundraising Challenge: This challenge involves starting with a £10 or £20 ‘start up’ that the church will provide. The expectation is that through your own creative means and talent, you will generate a profit for church funds. You will of course be expected to repay the original amount plus any profit you make. This fundraising project will last from May until September, allowing all who participate plenty of time to knit, sew, bake or grow, or come up with your own ideas. If you are willing to take on the challenge, please give your name to any of the Fundraising Team: Janet Stewart, Ohna Robertson, Alison Thomson, Bob McDougall or Tony Neeson.
Date For Your Diary: It is nearly time for CHRISTIAN AID week and this year the appeal is more necessary than ever with so much misery in the world. We are holding an Afternoon Tea on Saturday 10th May and hope you can come along and give your support. Tickets are available from Sunday 27th April. This is a chance to meet up with friends and do some good.
The Prayer Tree is situated inside the welcome area, for anyone in the church and community who wishes to add a prayer to it. You can write your prayer on one of the supplied labels, and either put it on the tree or into the prayer box. The ministry team will look at the prayers regularly and pray for you. ‘Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.’ (Jeremiah 29.12).
