Minister's Message

Manse Quackings! April 2012

So; how’s the sense of excitement holding up??! Are you still full of the joy of Easter – or are you feeling a bit ‘flat’, and even ‘egged-out’ (chocolate, or otherwise)?

Manse Telephone

whilst the Minister is not at present resident in the Manse, please note that the telephone answering service is checked regularly; if you need to contact the Minister, please leave a message, with a contact telephone number, and he will call you.

Christian Aid Week

Thanks to all who organized and supported the Open Afternoon on Friday, at Wiselawmill Farm, and to all who have contributed to collections, who have collected and who have organized collections around the area.

Used Stamps

Postage stamps are difficult to find. The supply of donated untrimmed used stamps has dried up over recent weeks but stamps are still needed in support of charity. Please ask you friends and acquaintances if they can help George Megahy with his quest.

Parish Notelets

As part of stewardship, the Kirk Session agreed to prepare and print for sale a series of notelets instead of the calendar introduced in 2010. The packs of 10 notelets with 5 different images will be available from Graeme Donald during May, please order now. Samples of the images will be on display on the noticeboards inside both churches. Each pack of 10 cards will cost £7.50. Should this trial prove popular consideration will be given to extending the range and timing for additional notelets. Our thanks to Judi Gunn for completing this project.
