As in previous years, having received nominations, I will produce voting slips of those charities for people to make their choice. Please could I receive nominations by 28th February to allow me time to arrange the subsequent vote. Please include some details about the charity you have nominated.

One of the most powerful ways to pray for children is to use scripture. Because the Bible is the living word of God, you can Pray His Word back to him. Pray for chidren by name (if known) asking that they will grow: in wisdom (the mind); in stature (physically); in favour with God (spiritually) and in favour with man (socially). 'Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man' Luke 2:52 Please continue to pray for Footsteps. Thanks, Sarah

Three course traditional Scottish meal of Starter: Cullen Skink or Tattie and Leek soup, Main: Haggis wi’ Champit Tatties and Bashed Neeps and Pudding: Cranachan and whisky custard.
Raffle prizes and Wine and soft drinks available. An authentic evening of extensive poetry, music and
Sing-along. The final amount raised is currently being sorted.
Alan, Christine, Patsy, Cheryl, Jan, Vanessa, Glyn, Gary, Phoebe, Harley, Debbie and I worked hard in unison to make it happen. We all joined in with Auld Lang Syne at the end of the evening but with 42 seated guests and another four in reserve, we were kept very busy! Looking forward already to next year! Christine Rawlinson
