Pop Up Nativity and Gift Service
This Sunday, 14th December our 'Pop Up Nativity and Gift Service’, is led by our young people! Come dressed as your favourite Nativity character, or in your Christmas jumper for a fun-filled service for all ages! This is also our annual gift service, for children and young people who might not get much at Christmas. This year our gifts will go to Eaglesham Food Larder, so if you could bring selection boxes, colouring books, or other small treats that would be greatly appreciated.
Carswell Foodbank Collections
Please note, no collections on the following dates over the festive period: Tuesday 23rd, Thursday 25th, Tuesday 30th December and Thursday 1st January. We re-open on Tuesday 6th January
Christmas Wreath Making
The Christmas Wreath making evening on the 5th December was really well supported by the community and 35 very attractive and twinkling wreaths were created. The BB kindly assisted with the fizz and nibbles afterwards. Based on the chat noise level the evening was a success. Could be an annual event! Thank you to all who supported and those who helped with their expertise especially the talented Maureen Keith who demonstrated the approach needed. A wonderful £1000 was raised for Church funds. Thank you all.
