Greenbank Church

We welcome new and old friends to our service this morning.  Please feel free to sit anywhere.  If you are visiting with us – please sign our visitor’s book, in the Centenary Chapel situated on the left hand side of the church, before you leave.  Hymn books can be found at the end of each pew and, for those who might find it easier to manage, large print editions of the Hymn book are available at the front door of the church. Tea and coffee will be served in the Fraser Hall after the service ‑ please join us for this time of fellowship.

The retiring offering today will go to the Lodging House Mission.

District Visitors are asked to collect their copies of Good Neighbour and Life & Work from the room off the transept today please.

A “Hospital Book” has been placed in the Centenary Chapel.  If you know of anyone who is in hospital and requires a visit from the minister please add their name and hospital details to the book.

Our minister will be on holiday from 9^th – 16^th October inclusive.  If you require a minister during this time please contact Rev Joe Kavanagh, Mearns Parish Church (616 2410).  For all other enquiries please contact the Session Clerk, Mr Ron Livingston (632 9475).

If you feel able to deliver harvest flowers after the today’s service, please come forward to the front of the Church where a member of the flower committee will be there to help you.

This month’s Good Neighbour contains a questionnaire from the Coordinators of Worship, Outreach, Fellowship and Stewardship to help with future developments in our congregational life and how you could be involved.  If Good Neighbour is not delivered to you, please feel free to take a copy from either the vestibule or the Link building, and place it in one of the boxes provided when you have completed it. Thank you.

During October there will be boxes in the link building & Hall of Friendship for unwanted spectacles, to be used in third world.  Thanks
