We had a good number of people come along to our Open Day. Everyone seemed to be interested in what they saw and heard.

The talk from Gordon Websters son, Robin, was very interesting, and we look forward to his return visit in October.

There were 2 gentlemen came all the way from Bonnyrigg because they were so impressed with our online presence/streamed service. They were from Parish Churches of Cockpen & Carrington linked with Lasswade & Rosewell

Huge thanks to Peggy, Sheena, and Alan for being the welcome team all day!
It was also great to see Margaret Matthew, Jimmy Orr, Colin Toal, and all the other lovely people who came along.

Massive thanks to our team of volunteers and those who supported our 2 fundraising events this past week.

It all started with the coffee event on Wednesday, 16th August, where we raised £262 for HOPE for Autism

Two members of the charity team were in attendance to share information and news of the work they do in North Lanarkshire. 

Our fundraising continued on Sunday with our Big Sing Songs of Praise in aid of Leprosy Mission Scotland. We created a joint venture with Newarthill and Carfin and our choirs combined.  The 2 organists took part, and each directed the combined choir.  A sizable congregation assembled and has so far raised over £700. Mhari Dawson from the Charity was in attendance and addressed us and shared a short video.  

That means our church and wider community family has raised over £1,000 in just 7 days! Wow! Thank you all for your support and generosity.
