NOTICES: A very warm welcome to all who worship with us this morning. Many thanks to Rev Sheena Dickson for leading our service today. Rev Dugald Wilson will be with us next Sunday.
COVID: With the continual numbers of COVID emerging in all areas of the world in which we live, it is absolutely vital that if you show any symptoms –PLEASE STAY HOME! Some of you will be aware of several of our members having health issues and it is really important that we do not in any way jeopardise their continuing treatment and/or good health. Thank you if you have stayed away from church when you were unwell – your care and thoughtfulness protects everyone. Irene Gray, Parish Clerk
MOVIE NIGHTS: To celebrate this very special time of year, we offer two films to enjoy. 5.15pm – bring your fish and chips or ‘whatever’ to nibble on before the film at 6.15pm. Tea and coffee provided. 9th December – ‘A Christmas Wish’ A heartwarming classic about a family who are down on their luck at Christmas time. Shortly before Christmas, they move into an apartment where Rupert the squirrel lives in the attic rafters and acts as the family’s guardian angel not only saving Christmas but changing their lives forever.
23rd December – ‘Home for Christmas’ Two hours of beautiful Christmas melodies with Andre Rieu and his orchestra.
