Choir

The choir will be back “in residence” on Sunday 2 September with practices resuming also that day at 10.15 prompt in the small hall. I have certainly missed hearing the choir sing over the last two months so it will be lovely to have them back to lead our praise.

Anyone wishing to join the choir will be made most welcome – no choir experience required!

Gordon Cunningham Captain

Girls’ Brigade

Dear Friends, 

Regretably, I have to inform you that due to current staffing issues which we have tried our best to resolve the Girls’ Brigade is not able to resume following the summer holidays.  It is the hope of everyone connected with the company that Girls’ Brigade will be able to start up again in the near future. Meanwhile if you would like to consider becoming a Commissioned Officer or Auxiliary Helper further information can be found on the GB Scotland website or feel free to speak to me anytime.

The Guild

The Guild commences on Wednesday September 5., and we look forward to welcoming everyone back after the summer break. We start the new session with a short talk on the theme for this year. This is Seeking the Way, given by our Minister Rev. Sarah Nicol. We are delighted Sarah is to be our opening speaker, and she will be sure of a warm welcome.

On September 19, Alison Montgomery will be with us, telling about the trials and tribulations of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Remember the Guild is open to everyone, so do come along to any meeting that interests you. You will be made most welcome.

We meet at 2pm on the 1st. and 3rd Wednesday of the month.

 Sheila Sarginson.
