It has been brought to our notice that when the Church money is being counted on a Sunday that there are a number of occasions when people enter the room where this is taking place. These interruptions are extremely disturbing to those counting the money so can we please ask that no one enters the room until the counting of the money is completed.

In Hamilton Hall there is a box of items for sale from St Andrew’s Hospice. Please have a look at the items in question and help to raise funds for a very good cause.

Clyde, Avon and Nethan Foodbank.
Since it opened in October 2013, the foodbank has been very generously supported both by gifts of food as well as financial donations from the community at large and local businesses and for which we are extremely thankful.

The most recent financial donation received amounted to £3,699.31 and came from the Co-op’s Community Cash Back Award. Our grateful thanks go to the Co-op and all its customers. You are continuing to help feed both adults and children in need throughout our local community.
May God Bless you all.
