News for week of March 17

Little Fishes farm visit

Last Thursday the Little Fishes visited a local farm to see the new born lambs as a change from their usual time in church.

Signing slates

On Saturday 2nd March and Sunday 10th March, people who had sponsored a slate for the repair of the church roof were invited to sign their slate and collect their certificates. 200 slates were sponsored.

Closure of church drive

As the drive to the church is not a public right of way for vehicles, we have to close it periodically and in accordance with this procedure, the drive was closed to vehicles for 24 hours from 9:00 am on Monday February 18.

Burns Night Supper

A traditional Burns Night supper was held on Friday January 25th, with cock-a-leekie soup, haggis, tatties and neeps. A quiz tested our knowledge of Scotland and added to the enjoyment of the evening.
