CONGREGATIONAL INFORMATION

FLOWERS in the sanctuary today are provided by Margaret & Robert Robb.

PASTORAL SUPPORT:  If you are aware of anyone who is unwell or would appreciate the flowers, please leave their name in orange book on high table or leave a message with church office.  Edith Gordon, Pastoral Care Coordinator

PLEASE NOTE:  Instead of a Board meeting on Tues, 24th it will now be the last AGM of Claremont Church.  All are welcome to this meeting - 7.30pm.

The Praise Band are hosting their COFFEE MORNING to raise funds on Sat, 28 Mar/ 10am.  Donations of raffle prizes/home baking will be gratefully received. Tickets £2

HOLY WEEK:   Each evening during Holy Week (Mon, 30 Mar to Fri 3 Apr), there will be a service in the sanctuary at 7pm.  These will be prepared and led by different groups and individuals in the church and are designed to be part of our spiritual preparation towards Easter. Look forward to seeing you.

THE SERVICE OF UNION is being held at 2.30pm on Sun, 26 April.  The KS had agreed to push the morning service to 11.30am that day and we will provide tea /coffee and hopefully some home baking between these services.  So if folks who wish to stay in between services they can bring a packed lunch.  An opportunity to have Fellowship together on this special day. There is no obligation to stay if folks prefer to go home and return.  Hoping for a good turnout in the afternoon when Presbytery will be taking the service.  Any questions just ask.  Helen, Anne & Fiona. 

INVITATION to a Webinar on the Proposed New Directions in Ministry Training to be held on 28 Apr (1-2pm) – see noticeboard for details.

CALDERGLEN CHURCH FIRST SPRING FAYRE:  Please note Sat, 9 May is only 9 weeks away – we would be very grateful if folks could start donating these items asap:  especially looking for wine, candles, toiletries, gift sets for tombola, books, toys and new or nearly new bric-a-brac.  Vouchers for restaurants, coffee shops, hairdressers, etc.  Helen

PVG: Disclosure Scotland Legislation now requires that any Claremont/South Parish member who is visiting a care home (even as part of a worship group) now needs to hold the relevant PVG. Please speak to Ishbel Campbell if this includes you!
