The Garden Party is now held in the Church Hall, but we have lots of plants and flowers on display to make the place look as much like a garden as possible. We raised over £1,300 for the Church Development Fund and are grateful to all from the community who supported this event. Our “big SPLASH” Holiday Club brought lots of faith and fun to the children and who took part and we are grateful to folks in the Church and community who generously gave discounts on items and helped in many other ways. We plan to build on the success of the Holiday Club by running a regular All-Age Celebration in the Church Hall on the first Saturday of the month. It’s being called the “Saturday 1 Club” and is open to people of all ages. We have high hopes that this venture will attract families whose loyalties to Sunday sport, music and leisure means they can’t make it on Sunday mornings. We look forward to an active autumn which will include a visit Service by the Rt. Rev. John P. Chalmers, Moderator of the General Assembly. Mr. Chalmers will share in the conduct of worship at the October Communion Service.
