Away Giving in 2025

In addition to the Bishop’s Lent Appeal we will, once again next year, support another three charities with our Away Giving.  We are looking for suggestions of local, national or international “Christian” charities that we could support. Have a think and let the Rector know your ideas as soon as possible.  Vestry will take a vote on your requests at the next Vestry meeting on Wednesday 15 January. 

Prayer Tree

We now have a prayer tree in the church hall.  If you would like someone or something to be prayed for, please write your petition on the hearts provided and place it on the tree.  Your prayer will be prayed for in church.

Table Top Sale

The Table Top Sale raised £130 for church funds.  Thanks to all who organised, contributed and participated. 

Christingle Service

This year’s Christingle will take place on Sunday 22 December at 6.30 pm in the church.  Spread the word and let as many people know as possible.  Mulled wine, Stollen and mince pies will be served in the Memorial Chapel after the service.

Situation Vacant

We still have one vacancy to fill – that of Hall Convener.  If you would be interested in finding out more about the position, please speak to the Rector at your earliest convenience.   

Music in Lanark

The next concert in the series will take place this Saturday – 14 December – at 19.45.  Please consult the brochure (on the shelf in the porch) for details.

Prayer

When she is with us on Sundays The Revd Liz Clelland will offer pastoral prayer in the Memorial Chapel after the Sung Eucharist to individuals who would like it.
