“A SEAT AT THE TABLE” – CENTENARY APPEAL
On 2nd May here at Greenbank we sang Hymn 685 – “For everyone born a place at the table” – it struck a chord with me as I had just learned of the LHM Centenary appeal.
This appeal is to fund “a seat at the table” through the participation of a number of donors who are prepared to take out a standing order for, say, £2, £5, or another amount a month so that a congregation contributes £50 a month in total. In a full year this would amount, with gift aid tax relief, to £750, which would cover the cost of providing a hot meal every day for a year to a visitor at the LHM – in other words “a seat at the table”.
I now have standing order forms from the LHM for this purpose. Please contact me to obtain one.
CALL FOR RECIPES
A men’s group has been established at the LHM and is embarking on a year long project to publish the first LHM cookbook. The book will have four sections – appetisers, main courses, desserts and recipes using only five ingredients. If your recipe also has a story attached to it they would like to hear that too. If you would like to contribute a recipe please pass it to me or you can send it directly via email to enquiries @ihm-glagow.org.uk.
NEWSLETTER
The latest copy of the LHM newsletter is available on the table in the Hall of Friendship.
SPEAKERS
The LHM is happy to provide someone to come and speak to church groups about the work that is done at the LHM. Please let me know if this would be of interests to you.
Thank you.
Alison, Our LHM Representative
