LODGING HOUSE MISSION

Heartfelt thanks for supporting the Harvest Appeal.  The Sunday Gang, Sunday Squad, Surfers and their teachers were great, bringing in tins of soup, fruit and vegetables.  A terrific £1166 was raised from the envelopes.  The members from Time Out once again offered to help to sort out the donations at the Lodging House, which, believe me, is no small task.  Cannot thank you all enough.

From our LHM representative

P.S Watch out for Christmas cards on sale in the Link Building from Sunday 9^th November.

UNINTERESTED ALTOS

I’ve often wondered if the congregation who can see the choir members (altos and basses) on the pulpit side of the church wonder why we seem to ignore the minister during the service. Well I’ll let you into a secret. If you look at the minister from those pews, what you see is a silhouette against the big windows.  Then, when you look at the hymn book the music has a lot of extra dots from the after-image – not good for the singing! So please, excuse us, and, Jeanne, we are listening!

GREENBANK WALKING GROUP

The final outing of the season is to Chatelherault and the Avon Water near Hamilton on Saturday 15 November, leaving from the Church at 10am.  Please note the change of date.  If you wish to attend please contact **.  New members are always welcome

TIME OUT GROUP

On Thursday, 13th November a volunteer from Yorkhill Children's Foundation will be giving a talk about the work of the Foundation.  We have been told that donations of new toys are always very much appreciated, although for health and safety reasons the Foundation can't accept second hand toys.

On Thursday, 20th November we are having a visit from Partylite Candles. There will be an opportunity to do some early Christmas shopping, or perhaps just treat yourself!

Anyone wishing to join us on these evenings will be made most welcome.

Both evenings start at 8pm in the Church Halls and tea and coffee will be served. For more information, please
