THE STAGE SOUND EQUIPMENT in the Cowley Hall requires replacement/updating. We have been using a donated home hifi amplifier which, after many years’ service, has finally broadcast its last sound! If anyone has a surplus ‘home stereo’ and would like to donate it to the Church it would be most appreciated. We are also looking for some additional speakers and would be interested in any sound and stage equipment. Please contact either Stephen Blanchflower or Neil Scholfield if you can assist.
CHRISTMAS CARDS will be on sale in the Fraser Hall after the service on all Sundays until 11th December to raise funds for the Lodging House Mission. Cards are £3.50 for a pack of 10. Come and see the selection during tea and coffee and support the LHM.
CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND: A gathering is taking place on Saturday 5 November 1.15pm to 4.15pm (lunch will be provided) at the Alona Hotel, Strathclyde Country Park, Bellshill, Motherwell ML1 3RT in order to hear the views and ideas of church workers as we consider how best to support and develop the church’s ministry with children and youth. The stimulus for this has been the review that we are carrying out on the National Youth Assembly which has raised wider questions about how we could develop the church’s ministry with children and youth. Anyone wishing to attend should confirm their attendance to Wayne Morris at wmorris@churchofscotland.org.uk Also use this email if you wish to be added to the distribution list of the Mission & Discipleship Council so that you are periodically alerted to information on learning and development provision that is appropriate to you in your capacity as a person working with children and youth in the church. John Chalmers, Principal Clerk, Chair of the Mission & Discipleship NYA Review
