The Monthly Prayer Calendar has been changed to a weekly one during the pandemic and is available here.
Due to the pandemic, while we cannot physically attend church, you might be wondering how you can continue to support financially the work of St Michael’s and the wider Church of Scotland. Those members who currently give through the Free Will Offering Scheme and who cannot hand in their envelopes might wish to consider one of the following options:
· You could set up a monthly standing order for regular giving – please contact either Tim brown on finance@stmichaels-parish.org.uk or Andrew Jones on giving@stmichaels-parish.org.uk and either Tim or Andrew will be able to send you a standing order form and advise on Gift Aid
· You could make a one-off payment using the give.net button
· You could continue to set aside your weekly gifts and bring them to church once we are able to physically come together again.
There are no Orders of Service available at present.
The Wednesday Prayer Group is currently meeting online at 12.30.

The 2019 Annual Report and Accounts is available here.
St Michael's Annual Report and Accounts for 2019 have been approved by Kirk Session and submitted to Presbytery. The next step would normally be to arrange the Stated Annual Meeting, but that is not possible at present. The key points are that offerings increased from £249k in 2018 to £254k; however, there was an overall deficit of £6.5k due to essential property expenditure.
Sunday Club and Bible Class will meet online each Sunday morning for the time being via Zoom. If your family would like to join us please contact Trish Archibald for more details on how to get involved.
We are already thinking about Christmas 2020! We are planning to place small hand knitted angels around the town with a message of love from our congregation, for people to take and hang on their tree. To make this happen we need around 1,000 angels to launch at this year’s Christmas Tree Festival! A simple knitting pattern is available here. If you or someone you know would like to take part, please contact Trish Archibald (07746 828 279) or Margaret Henderson (844787).
We need to increase our members in the team. If you feel you have the time and aptitude and would like to join us, please contact Marshall on 07967112137 or projection.team@hotmail.com

For more information, or to set up/amend an existing arrangement please contact the Gift Aid Convener in confidence - Andrew Jones – at giving@stmichaels-parish.org.uk or on 01506 840914.
