CHRISTIAN AID WEEK – 13TH MAY TO 19TH MAY – Volunteers are urgently needed to fulfil our target of visiting every home within the Parish to carry out door to door collections. If you would like to be a collector, please contact me or see me in the Fraser Hall following the service on 13th May where you will receive an envelope containing all you will need to collect within your allocated street. Last year, unfortunately, we were unable to collect from many of the 87 streets in our district due to a shortage of volunteer collectors. Volunteers are also required to count the donations. Additionally, following the success of the last 2 years ‘Big Brekkie’ events, it is hoped to repeat this on the 13th May after the service as part of the S.A.M. Volunteers will serve bacon rolls & pancakes to accompany the normal refreshments in the Fraser hall after the service. Please consider making a donation to Christian Aid for your participation in this event and supporting the charity by either collecting or helping with the count. Mark Allan & Ron Livingston.
