ON SATURDAY 8TH JULY THE KWENDERANA PARTNERSHIP is holding a Strawberry Afternoon Tea in Busby Church with a few stalls as well.  The tickets are £5 and are available from Christine Bryden (07786 314779).   This should be a lovely afternoon so please support our efforts as this will be the first time Busby has hosted this event. Donations of baking and unwanted gifts would be most welcome for the stalls as well.

THE SOCIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE has trialled afternoon teas in various locations and feels this is something that is worthwhile continuing in an effort to help combat loneliness in our community, particularly amongst the elderly.

If you would like to volunteer please add your name to the list in the Centenary Chapel or contact the church office at greenbank.office@tiscali.co.uk or on 644 1841.
