Welcome to our new Minister
Rev Elspeth McKay was inducted as our new minister on Thursday 3rd August at a service in the Parish Church. That was followed by a social event in the Village Hall when we all had a chance to 'meet & greet' her more informally. Then, on Sunday 6th August, Elspeth was 'preached in' at a service in the Parish Church.
We are delighted to welcome Elspeth and her family into our church and community and hope they feel very much at home here.
We wish to place on record our thanks to our Interim Moderator for the past two years, Rev Grace Saunders, and also to our Locum, Rev Marion Perry who served us so conscientiously during her time with us.
Open Days
We are opening the doors of our Parish Church to visitors every Sunday afternoon between 2pm and 5pm during July, August and the early part of September.
A team of members will be available to show people round and to answer any questions they may have. Books charting the history of the church from the 13th Century onwards will also be available for sale.
Cumbernauld Food Banks
The Food Bank in the Village is open each Friday from 11am - 12.30pm at the Parish Church.
We continue to look for donations, and especially tinned goods (mince, stew, curry, hot-dogs, chopped ham/pork, spaghetti, macaroni cheese, ravioli, peas, beans, potatoes, tuna, fruit and custard, etc.) plus tea-bags, long-life (UHT) milk, breakfast cereal and biscuits. Now that we are open in the Session House each week we can also accept the donation of toiletries. There is a box for donations in the church vestibule and at worship in The Forge.
