ADVANCE NOTICE
Monday 5th October: Contact Cafe
Contact bible study returns on Monday 5th October from 7.00 till 8.00pm and is held in our St Machans Building.
Over 20 folk attended our last sessions as we looked at different bible passages and big topics such as Faith, Hope, Love and Heaven, to mention a few, and how they apply to our daily lives.
The format is a relaxed café style atmosphere where all can feel comfortable as we find out more about God, Jesus and his plans for us. It does not matter how much you know about the bible to attend and no one will be put on the spot. If you would like more information then contact Graham Duncan on 07889007427. All are welcome and it would be great to see you there.
Friday 9th October : The Friendship Circle invite you to a coffee morning in the hall of our St Machan’s building from 10a.m. – 12noon. There will be home baking and a craft stall. Tickets £3.00 are now available from any F/C member. Hope to see you there.
Shoe Box Appeal 2026
September is always a busy month in our Church calendar and reminds us that we have to start planning for our annual shoe box appeal early in order to get the boxes to their destinations for December.
Since Blythswood Care started this appeal back in 1993, we have helped them send nearly three million boxes with 82,000 last year alone – each one different, each one personal, each one an expression of your care and kindness towards a stranger in need.
Fitted with small, practical items such as toiletries, stationary, sweets and clothing, the individually wrapped boxes have been distributed in schools, hospitals, orphanages and care homes, and to households in very low-income communities throughout third world countries.
Many this year again will be heading to people affected by the war in Ukraine as well as areas around the Middle East where so much unrest is taking place.
Leaflets are now available around the Church at each exit. The final date for boxes has not yet been confirmed, but an intimation will be made as soon as we have an update from Blythswood (It’s usually early November). Due to stricter customs regulations, there are a number of items which should no longer be included. Please check inside the leaflet for full details.
Many thanks for all your kindness and generosity in the past and we look forward to another successful appeal this year. Your gift truly makes a difference.
If you would like any further information, please see John Gilroy.
