Junior Church News

The Junior Church have been collecting 5ps for over a year now and have presented the Jubilee Fund with £1000 so far. This is a tremendous effort by the children who have also accepted donations from the congregation. The idea is to collect a mile of 5ps which should give a total of just over £4000.
CAMEO

Cameo finished for the summer break in mid April but during our time off we will have our monthly informal meetings, when we catch up on one another and our happenings, it's good to be able to do this as otherwise we may not see some of our members for a few months.


During the summer we have three outings arranged the first is on Wednesday 20th May when we go to New Lanark and tour the exhibitions and then have high tea at the New Lanark Hotel, we have a few places left if anyone is interested in joining us, we will leave from the church at 1 PM and the cost is £20.00.


We then have Cinderella on Ice Ballet at the Theatre Royal on June 10th with a meal afterwards at the Clydesdale Hotel in Hamilton then in September we will travel to Pitlochry and visit the theatre there, where we will see "Whisky Galore" the Musical and then, guess what, another High Tea!!! So as you can see we eat out a lot! Again we have a few places for anyone interested.


Cameo will restart on October 7th, the syllabus is ready, I will send this later and we hope to see a few more ladies and men join us on Wednesday evenings, the session just finished saw 7 new members, and one honorary male member, Mr Jim McNeil came along on number of occasions and enjoyed the speakers. Men are allowed to be members of the Guild.


I hope you all have a wonderful summer and come back refreshed in September.

The Banner Group

We have had a busy but very interesting few months in the Banner Group and I hope the congregation have approved of the work we have been doing. We have new falls for our own church as well as a new Banner which gives us a matching pair, these are up at the moment.


Besides this we have been doing new falls for Bill Wishart's church St Ninian's in Paisley, we were invited through for the dedication of these falls and we were made very welcome by the congregation and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We then made a lectern fall for Calderside Academy which was gifted to the school by the school Chaplains.


Two of us had the honour of being presented to the Princess Royal at the Old Parish Church when they had a special Banner exhibition as part of their 275th anniversary.


Our next event is to do a workshop for a conference of World Federation of Methodist and Uniting church women. This is to take place at Erskine Bridge Hotel on Thursday May 21st, we all feel quite honoured at being asked to do this.

All I can say is, that if you need a challenge join the Banner Group, all sorts of things are coming our way and so far we have coped with everything thrown at us.


We are having some time off now, but we will need to be looking to making some items for the Christmas Fair. More about that later in the year.
