5.8.20 Renfrewshire Foodbank
Another great Foodbank collection yesterday, especially given the awful weather. A total of 50 bags were donated.
A huge thank you to all who contributed.
We continue to receive donations every Tuesday 10 a.m. to 12 noon and 7 – 8 pm at the West Halls.
The collection will be at the West Halls, Main Street (next to Carrick Centre). There will be a crate at the front doors to leave items, so no social contact.
Please consider giving generously to the Foodbank. Those with the least often struggle most in such times.
Any donations are gratefully appreciated. The items they are desperately short of just now are:
UHT Milk
Tinned Potatoes
Tinned Fish
Tinned Tomatoes
Tinned Creamed Rice
Tins or cartons of Custard
Tinned Fruit, Coffee (small jars)
Jam
Soap and all Toiletries.
Loving...Caring...Sharing!!!!
NO plastic bags needed at the moment
Thank you.

10.7.20 Coronavirus Update
Despite the Scottish Government's last minute decision to permit Churches to open from Wednesday the restrictions are still prohibitive and not conducive to worship.
We will not be opening the Kirk at this stage and have a team looking at various options and safety measures required.
The Kirk Session will meet at the beginning of September. We will not be opening the Kirk in any form before this time and will communicate ways we are reopening following that.
Our online services will continue and please contact the Minister should you need any pastoral assistance.
We all look forward to meeting and worshipping in our beautiful Kirk again, and will do so, as soon as it is less prohibitive and safe to do so!
The building is closed, but the church is still open and very active!!
Loving...Caring...Sharing!!!

A few people have been asking how they can continue to give their offering/donate when not in church.
There are a few ways to do this:
(a) set up a standing order
(b) give online
(c) for those who give by WFO envelopes - these can be handed in to the West Halls on a Tuesday 10 -12 noon and 7-8 p.m. during the Foodbank collections. There will be a box available to deposit.
Please click on the date/title box or button on homepage (Weekly Offerings) to access the methods of giving.
While we can’t meet in the church, we are being Church more than ever before and we are grateful to everyone for their support!
If anyone would be willing to record a short video, reading the scripture for our recorded service on a Sunday, please send a message on this page or email the Minister
You don’t need to be a member, or even live here, and can be any age, you just need to be able to video record two readings and send them in by a Thursday.
Copy date is ... for publication on Sunday ...
