Harvest Appeal 2022

On Sunday 2nd October we held our annual Harvest Appeal and once again the congregation and local community responded with wonderful generosity. The Harvest table was laden with gifts (see below). 
All donations were passed to Bethlehem House of Bread at Cornerstone to distribute locally. These gifts will help those who are struggling in these very difficult times. It’s much more than the actual donations though. It’s about giving hope, a precious gift which can also sustain folk when they know they matter within our community. Thank you for all your support.

Book Group

The Book Group met in the Session House on Tuesday 6th October and was well attended. The group is being led by Moira from Cumbernauld Library who brought along copies for everyone of The Burning Girls by C J Tudor, and that will be discussed the next meeting on November 8th when members will be given the next book.
