Worship at Cumbernauld Old
Worship on Sunday 5th December, the Second Sunday of Advent, will take place in the Parish Church at the usual time of 11.00am and will be led by Ivar Struthers, one of our elders and a Reader with the Church of Scotland. We hope you can join us!
This will also be our annual Christmas Gift Service and, instead of gifts of toys, toiletries, etc. as in previous years, our friends at Cornerstone House, where our local food bank is situated, have asked that we donate gift vouchers or gift cards, such as a One4all card, available in many shops and Post Offices and which can also be used by the recipient in many shops. Other cards are, of course, available!
Donations will be distributed by our friends in Cornerstone to people in need before Christmas. Thank you, as always, for your generous support to our community..
If you wish to worship at Cumbernauld Old, there's no need to book in advance, but please observe the current government laws and guidelines by wearing a face covering (unless exempt), leaving your contact details for Test and Protect, using hand sanitiser and keeping a safe distance between yourself / your family group and other worshippers while in the church sanctuary. Thank-you for your help and understanding!
Hymn-sheets will be provided but you are very welcome to bring your own copy of the CH4 hymn-book if you have one.
Our weekly services in the church at 11.00am will be 'live-streamed' on our Facebook page for those who are unable to attend. Please note that you don't need to sign-up to Facebook to view these services, they are available to all Because they are 'live' you will need to watch them at 11.00am though.

Mission Partners
We're delighted to share the latest Partner Letter from Sandra and Graham Duncan in South Africa.
We also received a further email from South Africa with photos of some of the items bought from donations made through our Mission Circle - we've posted that update here.
Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. These mean so much to them.
Calling Online Shoppers!
Cumbernauld Old
Parish Church has signed up to the fund-raising
website called "Give As You Live". There are two ways you can help us
through this scheme: one is when you
do your shopping online,
and the other is through online
donations.
Both are explained on our dedicated web page. If you shop on Amazon, there is a different scheme called Amazon Smile that works in much the same way. For each purchase you make this way on Amazon, a percentage is donated by them to our church. Here’s how it works:
Rather than logging on directly to Amazon as before, instead log into smile.amazon.co.uk, (this link, and the banner below, will take you to our page) and if you are happy to choose Cumbernauld Old Parish Church as your chosen charity, then you are all set up to start shopping. It’s still the same Amazon, but by using Amazon Smile your shopping can make a difference to Cumbernauld Old. Thank you for making a difference!
