Chrismon Coffee and Cake: Why not come along this coming Wednesday morning 27th September to the Church Centre between 10am and 12 noon and meet with all those who are interested in making Chrismons for the Chrismon Tree at Christmas? A chance to see beautiful work already done and to find out how to make different ones. Also to enjoy coffee, cake and a chat.
Notices: 1. There will be a short service celebrating Holy Communion immediately after the main service, in the side aisle, today. Do join us if you can. 2. At a meeting of the kirk session last Monday evening the matters arising from Rob and Gwens forthcoming departure were discussed. As a result of that review we have identified a number of tasks where new volunteers would be most necessary and welcome. Some are included with your service sheet, and there are sheets on the table at the back of church which give opportunity to indicate your willingness to help with these tasks. Thank you. 3. Next Sunday 1st October the service will be led by Rev Iain Paton 4. On Sunday 8th October we will be
following a Harvest Thanksgiving
theme, led by Rev Rob Barlow.

Auchterarder Parish Church have been supporting this Appeal for many years. Please join us this year and help us to give hope to children who don't have the home comforts and privileges enjoyed by our own families. Small toys, school supplies and hygiene items bring pleasure to children who live in difficult conditions and have nothing. Explanatory leaflets with a list of gift suggestions, unwanted items and the necessary labels for the boxes, are available at the back of the Church. It is
important that you read them carefully. We would like to receive your boxes by 29th October at the very latest so that they can be sent to the checking station before delivery to the final drop off point.
