Generosity of Giving – Relationships
Unfortunately, having only received a total of 55 replies from 390 invitations issued, it has been decided to postpone the Coming Together events which were scheduled to be held over the six Sundays from 21st April – 26th May 2024.
The Discipleship Group will meet shortly to review and re-plan these events for later in the year. Watch this space……

AIRDRIE ACADEMY 175 PROJECT
We have been working with our writer in residence, Martin Stewart to create an anthology of work. Our creative project will involve picking particular moments in history to which Airdrie Academy has borne witness then, using photographs as prompts, writing short dialogue pieces to give the characters we imagine sitting in those classrooms, a voice.
We are now looking for contributions from our local community, ex pupils and staff, to share memories and stories from the school's rich and varied history.
I would appreciate any publicity for this project you can offer via your congregations and church community
Thanks so much

PRAYER SQUARE MINISTRY
Our In Stitches Craft Group has been busy knitting and crocheting prayer squares. Each one comes with a wee prayer. Anyone can take one either for themselves, or to take and give to someone they think may need it. It might be nice if visiting elders also took one when they visit folk.

Help Needed – Offering Rota Team
We are still looking for additional volunteers from the congregation to form an ‘Offering team’ to help with the counting of the offering on a Sunday morning after the service. This is planned to be on a rota basis. The more volunteers we get, the fewer occasions you will have to assist.
The offering team has not been in operation since ‘lock down’ but now we urgently require assistance for the counting of the offering and your support will be greatly appreciated - the more the merrier.
Please contact Andrew Paul (on a Sunday or message on 07541129193 / Andrewjpaul.65@gmail.com) if you are able to assist and join our Offering Rota.
Go on - be a part of it
