Dandelion Trust Harvest Festival

Cumbernauld Old Parish Church is teaming up with Cumbernauld Village Community Council to hold a special Harvest event under the auspices of the Dandelion Trust.

Harvest Appeal 2022

Once again we at Cumbernauld Old are being invited to support the work of Bethlehem House of Bread at Cornerstone House through our special Harvest Appeal. As we all know we are living in very challenging times. More and more people are struggling, with an increase in families coming forward for help at food banks.
On Sunday 2nd October at our Harvest Appeal could you please help by bringing along your donations of any of the following: 

• Meals –  eg meatballs, macaroni, spaghetti Bolognese, hotdogs, pasta sauce etc;
• Soup –  tins or packets;
• Tinned spaghetti, beans, peas & other vegetables;
• Puddings  –  tins or packets of fruit, rice or custard; 
• Jam, biscuits, UHT milk.

The above are simply suggestions. Anything else you think would help will be greatly appreciated.

Cumbernauld Old and our wider community have supported the food bank for a number of years with amazing generosity. Never has our support been more needed or appreciated.
Thank you.

Harvest Thanks!

Once again everyone at Cumbernauld Old Parish Church has been very generous with their donations at last Sunday’s Harvest Thanksgiving service. All these packeted and tinned goods are going to our local Food Bank, Thanks again to everyone who donated.

Harvest Gifts – October 2021

Harvest Generosity

This Sunday is our Harvest Festival at Cumbernauld Old and, as we won’t be able to worship in the church building, we had asked if people could perhaps drop off some Harvest gifts at the Manse for passing on to our sister Food Bank at Cornerstone House.

Suffice to say, we have been both amazed and humbled by the enormous generosity of the people in our community. Elspeth has taken the gifts received so far and laid them out at the church. The photos below will give you some idea of the astonishing response to our appeal, and it’s still only Thursday!

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you! For the difference it will make to those who will receive the goods you have donated, many, many thanks!

Harvest Gifts at Cumbernauld Old Parish Church – October 2020

Harvest Thanks

A very big ‘thank-you’ to everyone who contributed gifts for the Harvest table at Cumbernauld Old Parish Church this morning. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

All our donations will be bagged and boxed and taken to the local food bank, where they will be shared with those who are in need.

Harvest Thanksgiving at Cumbernauld Old

The Harvest Thanksgiving Services at Cumbernauld Old Parish Church will be on Sunday 2nd October at 10.15am in the Parish Church in the Village and 11.45am in the Forge Community Centre, Balloch.

As we give thanks for God’s goodness to us, we are reminded that Harvest is also a time for sharing our gifts and so we invite those attending either of these services, or our Harvest-themed Toddlers’ Praise Service on Saturday 1st October, to bring a donation for the local food bank.

We would be delighted to receive donations of tinned goods (mince, stew, curry, hot-dogs, chopped ham/pork, spaghetti, macaroni cheese, ravioli, peas, beans, potatoes, tuna, fruit and custard, etc.) plus tea-bags, long-life (UHT) milk, breakfast cereal and biscuits. We can also accept donations of toiletries suitable for adults or children. Thank-you in advance! We look forward to seeing you at church on Saturday or Sunday.
