Making
Connections
At the time of writing
the Planning Team has still to have a final meeting with
Gillian Paterson,
the Stewardship Consultant of the Church of Scotland.
Gillian has been
guiding us over our Family Meals programme.
Her draft report,
however, is very complimentary, particularly with regard to
our publicity, the
actual meals and all the administration.
Although we were a
little disappointed with the number of response cards
returned, there have
been many positive replies. For example, you will have
noticed several new
faces doing the readings on Sunday mornings.
This year’s Flower
Calendar is now full with others making donations to the Flower Fund (very
much appreciated). A few more have already joined our small Pastoral Care
Group.
There has been a welcome
response for volunteers to deliver leaflets and cards around the Parish,
with additional help for the monthly magazine delivery.
Coffee/Tea will be
available after the Sunday morning service every week in
the near future.
Offerings have already increased, with a considerable number having promised
to review their offerings and an additional few having agreed to give to
Gift
Aid.
Thank you all for
your support.
