This will take place from 12th to 19th May.  There will be envelopes available on Sunday 12th May, either in your chair back or from one of the welcome team.  Please either make your donation on the 12th or take it away and return it on Sunday 19th May with your donation.

 

Zimbabwe Lunch

The Kirk Session agreed to hold a lunch in order to raise funds for our twinned congregation in Zimbabwe, St Andrew’s Bulawayo.  The service on 26th May will therefore take place in the Union Street building for ease of catering the lunch and it would be great if as many people as possible could come along.  The proceeds of the lunch will be split between St Andrew’s and the flood appeal which has devastated parts of Zimbabwe.  On the day the minister will give a short presentation on his visit to Zimbabwe last year as part of our outreach commitment.
