Invitation to all our congregation to join Fireside meeting: Being able to share time with other women of the congregation and their friends has always been one of Fireside’s aims but this month we invite everyone because it is a chance to learn more about Rev. Dan Yeazel, our interim moderator, who has kindly agreed to tell us about some of his life. This is your chance whether or not you have met Dan already.

MOVIE NIGHT Saturday 26th August 5.15pm: “To Catch a Thief” (1955)
This is a joyous movie to behold. Filled with humour, wit, passion, action, danger, thrills, intrigue, and romance, it is truly a movie like no other. Cary Grant plays a reformed jewel thief, John Robie, known in infamy as The Cat. When a new string of high-profile thefts arise, it is up to him to prove that he is innocent: and the only way to do that is to catch the real thief. He teams up with a young American beauty (Grace Kelly) to find the New Cat, before it’s too late. This is a wonderful ride: don’t miss it. BYO takeaway tea, hot drinks provided. Enquiries to Irene 332 7306.
