Dates for Autumn 2016
We have completed one of the major elements of our Mission Action Plan with the removal of the church pews and development of a more flexible church building. We now have the opportunity to hold a variety of events and the ‘Dates for the Diary’ brings forward details of those events the Autumn.
Saturday 24th September will be a very important ‘GIFT DAY’ This replaces our annual Coffee Morning in the Town Hall. Please come along on the 24th between 11am and 1pm, have a coffee or tea and a chat and make your donation to the Church.
Sunday 25th September ‘Bring a Friend’ gives us an opportunity to welcome someone you know to our form of worship. Refreshments will be served after the Service
Thursday 13th October sees us modifying the church to provide a catwalk for a Red Cross Fashion Show. The evening event should be great fun and provide funds for our Church and other important causes.
Saturday 29th October 7pm sees us with an evening of Shakespearean drama. Maggie Macleod and other volunteer will read, recite, act and perform a host of parts. Musicians and budding bards needed please contact Maggie. It will all be great fun though no doubt tragic and hilarious. Almost certainly there will be props and bits or costume.
Following the Shakespeare evening Maggie goes off to a season of panto (oh yes she does) in Hamilton and Rutherglen. We hope to organise a group from All Saints to go and see her in the pantomime. News of the later (see website)
All Saints are setting up a stall at the ‘turning on of the Christmas lights’ in Lockerbie on Saturday 19th November.
