‘Wednesday Welcome’:- The Hub will be open every Wednesday morning from 10:30 to 12 noon for anyone from the church and surrounding community to drop in for a cup of coffee and light refreshments. There will be a warm welcome for all and an opportunity to meet neighbours and make new friends.
There will be two members of the congregation there to host this event and it will be known as the ‘Wednesday Welcome’.

This will initially be held on the last Sunday of every month and may increase in frequency in the Autumn. The first gathering will be held on Sunday 28th July.
Other activities including a monthly men’s event are planned to start in September. More details will follow in the coming weeks.
Election of New Congregational Committee
The Kirk Session has agreed that an election of a new Congregational Committee, comprising 20 persons, will take place in August, with votes being counted on Tuesday 10th September by the Kirk Session.
In preparation for this a list of all qualified voters will be drawn up (in simple terms qualified voters are those who are communicant members who contributed in 2023 or if only joining in 2024 as communicant members have contributed in this year) and will be available on the next two Sundays, 11th & 18th August in the church vestibule for you to check. Following this, the elders will deliver the voting papers to qualified voters with instructions to mark the names of those for whom they vote (up to 20); The persons having the highest number of votes shall be deemed elected and will be contacted to ascertain if they are willing to serve.
Volunteer Drivers: We have a small number of members in our congregation who can no longer drive. We are looking for any volunteer drivers that might be able to help transport these folk to Sunday worship or other events such as the summer coffee mornings or Wednesday Welcome. If you could help, even on an occasional basis, please use the sign-up sheet in the vestibule or alternatively contact our clerk, Michael Steele or Mr Mervyn Nelson for more information. Thank you.
IMPORTANT NOTICE lease note the Kirk Session has agreed, as part of our safeguarding policy, that in all public services of worship no photographs or videos may be taken without prior permission being sought and received from the Kirk Session.
