time for God’s Church when his people are found together praying. If you can’t

Oasis – tonight after the evening service.
Christmas Child in demonstrating God’s love in a tangible way to needy children.
We would be delighted if members of the congregation could support us. We need
gift filled shoe boxes or individual items which we can use to fill the boxes. The
date to bring your boxes or items to Church is Sunday 26th October. The Shoe
Boxes this year will be going to Kosovo. Leaflets are available in the vestibules.
Each Congregation that makes up the PRCI is required to provide the money to
support the United Appeal which in turn supports the mission work of the
Church both here and overseas. Earlier this year the Kirk Session produced a
very good Youth and Children’s Ministry strategy. They were able to tap into
the expertise and experience of Graeme Thompson and Ruth Bromley
both very experienced people. It is money given to the United Appeal that
funds their roles in Assembly Buildings. It is one of countless Ministries being
conducted by our Church and it is totally dependent on Congregations
supporting it through United Appeal. If you can help, any gift you can give will
be greatly appreciated on this our United Appeal Sunday.
Orders are now being placed for yearly bible reading notes Fresh from the Word
2015. Anyone wishing to order or re-order please sign the sheets in the vestibules.
Daily Bread bible notes will be ordered as usual. If anyone wants to change their
order please contact Kay Lorimer on 028 29571577 or put a note on the sheets.
