Glasgow 850 Close Knit Project: Easterhouse Parish Church is hosting a “sew in” or “stitch up” on Saturday, 31st May between 11am and 4pm to which all our knitters/sewers are invited to attend. There will also be an opportunity to see some of the completed blankets as they are hung up on the washing poles on Glasgow Green on Sunday, 22nd June.
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, sign up sheets are available in the entrance area and during coffee.
Reachout Trust: From September, Reachout is going to be blessed with another SU Gap Year, Jenna. To enable Jenna to carry out her Gap year they need to find her accommodation locally. If this is something you could offer, please contact rossm.crrt@outlook.com, Also see poster on the notice board for further information.
Artwork for the Courtyard Garden: We are replacing the knitting which was attached to the netting in the courtyard. The knitting was wonderful but had reached the end of its time. We are calling on all youth organisations and anyone who would like to have a go, to draw or paint a picture on A4 size paper. These will be laminated and hung on the netting in the courtyard. Pictures can be handed in to a folder which will be in the welcome area. We are looking forward to seeing some great pictures. Animals, plants, trees etc would look great.
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).
