Please bring your new, unwrapped gifts to church on Sunday 1st December or put in the box in the link building from Monday 25th November. Thank you for your support and generosity.
CHRISTMAS CARD DROP OFF: Between Sunday 1st December and Sunday 15th December, you may drop off your Christmas cards to people in the congregation who are able to collect them from the Crèche Room (Room C) just off the Hall of Friendship. There will not be a delivery service. Please add the name of the recipient and, if possible, their address to the envelope to ensure it goes to the right person and place it by surname in the correct alphabetical pile. You will also be able to pick up any cards addressed to you from the same place up until Tuesday 24th December.
CHRISTMAS FAYRE: The Congregation, friends of Greenbank and the community are warmly invited to our Christmas Fayre on Saturday 7th December from 10.00am till 12.00pm. Tickets are £3 (children free) and will be on sale following Sunday worship, or can be purchased at the door (cash or card). Church organisations have been invited to run a stall so there will be a great range of things to buy, including delicious chutneys, conserves and home baking. Afterwards you are assured of a lovely cuppa and treats in the Fraser Hall. A donation box is at the link door for anyone wishing to contribute bottles for the choir’s tombola, unwanted gifts or Christmas crafts/items. The church halls will be open on Friday 6th December from 3.30pm till 6.30pm for setting up or to hand in home baking.
MERRY CLARKSTON CHRISTMAS: Thank you so much to all the volunteers ‘manning’ Greenbank’s stall at the Merry Clarkston Christmas Event last week. From tea and coffee donations they raised over £144 – a great effort and a lovely way to connect with the local community. We are very grateful to them all.
PRAYERS FOR HEALING LIST: If anyone knows of someone who should be on the Prayer List, please speak to Gillian Foy or contact the office, so we can make sure that the list is up-to-date. Thanks for your help.
DONATIONS REQUIRED: The Link Building is open for all donations on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings.
LHM DONATIONS: Donations can be put on the trolley in the Link building. The LHM was delighted to receive all your gifts of advent calendars. Wool is still needed for the Glasgow Close Knit project. The LHM would be pleased to accept donations for their Christmas gift bags, which they hope to distribute to all their clients. A list of suggested items is on the noticeboard in the halls corridor and copies are on the trolley.
