Additional Announcements

Today is our annual PW service.   Rev Norman McAuley will be speaking to us about the work of MERF (Middle East Reformed Fellowship).  All loose offering at this service will go to the work of the PW and the missions they have supported this year, including MERF.

Voting papers for our Congregational Committee elections are due back today.  If you are eligible to vote, please return your paper in the box in the vestibule.

Members of Kirk Session are reminded of their meeting this Tuesday evening at 8pm.

There is no Midweek meeting this week due to our Campaigners Parents Night.   This will be at 7pm and all members of the congregation are welcome to come along and support our children and young people.  Please could all campaigners be there by 6:45pm.

Next Sunday the CE will be contributing in the first part of our service.

A container is heading from Ballymena to Romania with ‘Smiles’ in April.  Smiles would be glad of donated items to fill the container.  The following is what they are looking for: 

Hygiene Wipes – TOP PRIORITY
Surgical Gloves – Medium (some S & L also)
Shower gel
Adult shampoo
Bath sponges
Detergent Auto washing powder / liquid
Multi-surface cleaning cream – eg. Dettol
Toilet cleaner / disinfectant

Pampers nappies sizes 2-6

If anyone would like to donate these items, they can give them to Susanne McNeilly by the end of March.

Foodbank donations from our congregation are now being given to the Trussell Trust foodbank at Ballyloughan Presbyterian.  These donations need to be taken to Ballyloughan on the first Tuesday evening of each month, and so we are in need of a couple of volunteers who would be free to do this, so that we can continue contributing as a congregation.  If you are free on a Tuesday evening, have a car, and would be willing to transport the donations, please speak to Susanne.
