Thanks to all those who expressed an interest in a fellowship group. The first meeting will take place on Monday 30thSeptember 7-9pm in ‘L’. The plan is initially to meet for a time of fellowship; however the group may develop into other areas (eg craft, bible study……) depending on the wishes of those involved!
We are proposing to spend some time at the Harvest Worship on 29th September thinking about Foodbanks, and the congregation are invited to bring suitable items for the Dundee Foodbank next Sunday in particular.
The Dundee Foodbank currently has the following list of urgently needed items.
What they have plenty of (and don’t want more at present!)
This year is commended to Methodists as A Year of Testimony – of Telling Our Stories- for which the President & Vice-President have written a book “So What’s the Story….?”
This is to form the basis of a series of meetings arranged to help us share thoughts, experiences and stories over the autumn – everyone is warmly invited to any or all. All meetings will take place at 7pm on Wednesdays in the “L” shaped room.
Books are now available from Sue C. at a subsidised price of £5.
Please let a Church Steward have requests for help with transport or if you can provide such assistance.
Our Circuit friends at Riverside Methodist Church, Blairgowrie, extend a warm invitation to their Afternoon Tea at 2.30pm next Saturday.
Proceeds are for Blairgowrie’s support of All We Can.
A warm relationship has been built between Methodists and residents & staff at Ashgrove Court (Retirement Housing) where a Communion Service is held each Quarter.
Saturday 28th September from 10am – 3pm.
Tables £10 each, but sharing can be arranged by negotiation.
There will be a ‘church’ table where smaller donated items will be welcomed. Coffee, tea etc will be available and donated baked goods would be much appreciated.
For more details and to reserve a table, please contact Liz on 01382 226426, 07946855121 or email lizkaylizkay [at] yahoo.co.uk
The recent meeting covered the following items:
Jenny is preparing the rota of Sunday duties for September-November; she will be delighted to know of anyone who can assist the current (small!) teams as a collection–counter, door steward, or server of coffee. Even one or two Sunday dates will be very useful in relieving the pressure on current team members.
The Church Stewards will also be pleased to know of people willing to do readings in worship.
Warmest thanks are expressed to those on teams and to others who, in any way, assist our Sunday worship and the welcome offered to all entering our premises.
The next plan is now available; several hard copies are on the vestibule table. Please sign the list there or advise David Easson if you wish a regular copy either by email or in print.
The ordered copies are now in Perth – it is expected that the Dundee ones will be available here after Sunday 25thAugust.
An invitation is given to all interested in our worship life to the Consultation at 1pm on Wednesday. Items to be discussed include our café harvest service (a “Local Arrangement”) at the end of September. Please give apologies and / or suggestions, material or comments about our worship to Sue C (Convener) or any Church Steward.
