Worship at Cumbernauld Old
Our worship service on Sunday 3rd July will be held in the Parish Church at 11.00am and will be led this week by Ivar Struthers, one of our elders and a Reader with the Church of Scotland. Everyone is welcome and we hope you can join us!
Now that most of the Covid restrictions have been relaxed, the Kirk Session has agreed to reintroduce serving tea and coffee in the Session House after our worship services. So many people have missed the opportunity for a cuppa and catch up and it will be great to meet together again informally.
But we need volunteers to make this happen! If you are willing to be part of a tea rota, please speak to Elizabeth Snedden any Sunday. Hopefully your turn would only come around every five or six weeks – the more volunteers the better!

Christian Aid Week 2022
We are delighted to let you know that the total donated by the congregation of Cumbernauld Old and their friends and family during Christian Aid Week in May was £560.
Many thanks to everyone for their continuing generosity at this difficult time. This total does not include money donated directly to Christian Aid, eg via their website,
DEC Ukraine Appeal
The members of the craft group would like to thank everyone who supported us with our recent Crafts for Ukraine fundraising, which raised £280 which was sent to The Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal by one of our members and with added Gift Aid came to the wonderful total of £350.
Singing Group
Our proposed new singing group has attracted a lot of attention, so thanks to everyone who has signed up or expressed an interest. There's always room for more people to join, so please let us know below if you would like to find out more. Lynn is now working out the details and has set up a Twitter page @SingCumbernauld which we'll update with news when it becomes available. Why not give it a wee follow?
Book Club
Hot on the heels of our planned Singing Group (see above) Cumbernauld Old is also hoping to start a book group - the intention is to get people reading and talking about books they enjoy with others, and perhaps reading something they would never have tried. The plan at the moment is that the group will meet monthly and the next book of the month will be chosen by members each month. Drop us a line if you are interested. There is also a sign-up sheet in the church vestibule.
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!
