Our Dementia Support Group will meet in the hall on Wednesday from 1 pm until 3 pm. This week’s musical entertainment has yet to be confirmed. Good news for the team – we have been awarded a VASLan grant amounting to £5,400. An excellent sum, which will help us enormously as we continue to develop the provision we offer to people with dementia and their carers.
Rector’s Absence
I shall be taking 4 days of annual leave next week. In my absence the Curate will be in charge. Her contact details are on the current edition of the magazine.
Apres Service Refreshments
We are looking for new recruits to make teas and coffees after the Sung Eucharist on Sundays. If you would like to get involved, please speak to Morag Hobbs, who will be happy to add your name to the rota.
Episcopal Election
At our electoral synod last Saturday The Revd Canon Dr Nicholas Bundock was elected as our new Diocesan Bishop. Nicholas comes to us from the Church of England, where he is currently Rector of St James and Emmanuel Church, Didsbury, in the Diocese of Manchester. His consecration service will be on Saturday 3 May in St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow. Please remember him in your prayers as he and his family prepare to move to Scotland.
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.
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, please, please speak to the Rector at your earliest convenience!!! (Note the hint of desperation there!)
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.
