Worship on Sunday 12th November

Sunday 12th November is Remembrance Sunday.

There will be a short service incorporating the Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial in Baronhill, Cumbernauld Village at 10.45am and this will be followed by morning worship in Cumbernauld Old Parish Church at the later than usual time of 11.15am.

All are welcome to join us at both services.

Mission Circle

Thank you so much to those who ‘popped in a pound’ for South Africa at last Sunday’s worship service. The £65 that was donated is now with Sandra in Pretoria. This money will be used mainly to stockpile food for the holiday club to ensure that as many children as possible get at least one meal a day during the school holidays.
Violet, the Session Clerk of the church was most excited to get a large toaster. She said most of the children will never have tasted toast, so she is buying a variety of food that goes nicely with a slice of toast. Something we take so much for granted!!
She is also buying books, pens, games, footballs etc. to keep the children occupied and off the streets. Thanks a million for your support.

Quiz Night

Cumbernauld Old is holding a Quiz Night on Friday 10th November at 7.30pm in Cumbernauld Bowling Club with our favourite quiz master Calum Cormack as host. 
Entry costs £5 so please get your friends together and come along as a team or just join us on the night.

Car Boot Sale

We will be holding a Car Boot and Table-top Sale on Saturday 25th November from 10.00am to 12 noon in the car park at Cumbernauld Old Parish Church manse. There will also be some tables available for stalls. Spots for cars and tables cost £10 each – please contact Elizabeth on (01236) 726451 to book one.

Christmas Songs of Praise

Advent never seems to be long enough to sing all our favourite Advent hymns and carols, so there will be a Christmas Songs of Praise event at Cumbernauld Old Parish Church on Sunday 3rd December at 3.00pm when we can enjoy singing our favourite carols early in Advent.
As with our summer Songs of Praise event there are voting slips available, so please vote for your favourites and pop them in the box at church by Sunday 26th November. Don’t worry if your favourite is not in CH4, we can work on providing the song sheets for those ones.
So please get voting and put 3pm on Sunday 3rd December in your diary. We have chosen an earlier time to save people having to be out at night in possibly cold wintry weather. Thank-you!

Remembrance Sunday at Cumbernauld Old

Sunday 14th November is Remembrance Sunday.
There will be an Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial in Cumbernauld Village at 10.45am followed by morning worship in the Parish Church at approximately 11.15am.
Worship will be led by Rev Phyllis Wilson.

If you are joining us in person, there is no longer any need to book in advance, but we do ask that you try to maintain a safe distance between yourself / your family group and other worshippers while in the church sanctuary.
You will still need to wear a face covering throughout the service, use the hand sanitiser provided on arrival and departure and leave your contact details for Test & Protect.
Hymn-sheets will be provided but you are very welcome to bring your own copy of the CH4 hymn-book if you have one.

Remembrance Sunday 2020

You are warmly invited to join us for worship on Sunday 8th November, Remembrance Sunday. Our prerecorded worship service, led by our minister Rev Elspeth McKay, is available here.

We appreciate that many will be disappointed that there will be no service at the War Memorial this year but, hopefully, you will understand the current circumstances and that this worship service will be a fitting alternative.

As with all our worship services this Sunday’s service is available to all, so please feel free to share with any family or friends. Please also check out our Facebook page for all the latest news from Cumbernauld Old.

Time for Reflection

We hope to have our next ‘Time for Reflection’ in Cumbernauld Old Parish Church on Sunday 15th November at 11am. The Time for Reflection will provide an opportunity for people to come and reflect and pray for half an hour in the church building. In order to ensure as safe an environment as possible, we need to limit the number of people who can attend and so we would invite those who wish to attend to let us know in advance. There will also be an online worship service, and we’ll post the details of that nearer the time.

Remembrance Sunday

The Annual Service of Remembrance, including the laying of wreaths and observing the national two minutes of silence, will take place at 10.45am this Sunday, 10th November, at the War Memorial in Cumbernauld Village. Morning worship at Cumbernauld Old Parish Church will follow at approximately 11.15am.

Remembrance Day 2018

To commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War this year, Cumbernauld Old Parish Church hopes to apply for Heritage Lottery Funding (or, indeed, grants from other sources) to host events in the autumn.

Our initial ideas include a community cinema, arts and crafts workshops and investigating the men from the Village who gave their lives in that conflict. This will culminate in a special display on Armistice Sunday, 11th November 2018.

We are looking for your thoughts and ideas and, better still, help!
If you want more details, or can offer help or suggestions, please leave us a note. Thanks.
