Scripture in the Summer. Who fits where - and when - in the Bible? Our wonderful holy book is a strange mixture of history, poetry, letters and revelation. It is not in chronological order, and it can be difficult to understand. Come along to the Kirk Hall on Sunday evenings this summer at 6.30pm to tease out the personages and time line of this amazing book. Please bring your bible with you.
The Tabernacle. A model of the tabernacle (the movable temple which the Israelites used whilst wandering in the desert with Moses) has been made by the Scripture in the Summer group. It can be seen by the bookstall during the month of August.

Pew cards. Please remember to use the pew cards to inform the Ministers of anyone who is in hospital or needs a visit and hand them to a Duty Elder or into the Church Office.

Word for Today. The Autumn edition (covering August September and October) is now available from the visitor stall or from Lighthouse.

HELP. Kirk Hall Evening Managers. We need people to join the existing group of volunteers who spare one weekday evening (your choice), every month or so, to sit in the reception area of the Hall and let Hall and Cross House users in and out. This very important duty, open to all ages, requires no special skills or strengths but greatly helps the many and varied users of Cross House. You choose your (early) evening of duty and changes can be made at very short notice.
