Doors Open Weekends
Once again, we have been opening our doors to visitors this summer. Volunteers will be on hand every Sunday from 2pm to 5pm in August and until 16th September to welcome visitors and show them around our historic church building in the Village. Hope you can pop by and say hello!
We will also be participating in North Lanarkshire's Doors Open Days event in September and the Parish Church will be open between the hours of 1pm and 5pm on Satuday 8th and Sunday 9th September.
Organ Recital and Hymn-sing
Our organist, David Smith, has kindly agreed to give an organ recital and play some of our favourite hymns on Thursday 23rd August at 7.30pm in the Parish Church. Entry costs £5 for church funds, and there will be tea or coffee and home baking. A warm welcome is extended to everyone for this 'not to be missed' evening.
Lest we Forget - Exciting news!
Thank you so much to everyone who has handed in knitted poppies for our Remembrance Day display so far. Each one has been done with such love, care and attention they are all just beautiful.
Now for some great news: Some time ago we submitted an application to the National Lottery for funding to take the project one step further and create a permanent feature to enhance the area around the war memorial in the Baronhill. We have just received news that our application has been successful. So watch this space for further details! We'll let you know more as soon as we can.
Cumbernauld & Kilsyth Baby Bank
Cumbernauld Old is happy to support new mothers through the Cumbernauld & Kilsyth Baby Bank.
We have placed boxes in the vestibule at the church and at the hall in Balloch for donations of clothing, etc for babies or children up to seven years of age. We have further details on our blog.
Cumbernauld Food Banks
The Food Bank in the Village is open each Friday from 11am - 12.30pm at the Parish Church. Donations of food, toiletries, money etc. are always welcome and greatly valued. We would, however, really appreciate more volunteers to join our rota. Please contact the church if you are interested. Thanks!
