Summer Fete

 

Quiet Afternoon

 

Final preparations for our Quiet Afternoon on the Stations of the Cross are underway. We begin with Mass at 2pm.

Roger Smith Memorial Organ Recital

David Gibbs will give a recital at St Mary's on Saturday, 13 May, at 11.00am. Bach and Widor will be on the programme. Free entry. Refreshments to follow. Cake Stall. Donations to be shared between the Motor Neurone Disease Association and St Mary's Church.

Book Sale and Cafe

 Our next Book Sale takes place on Saturday, 25 March, between 10am and 12 noon. The cafe will be open too. Do come along to support us and bag a bargain.

All Sorts

 Much has been happening in the parish - our best-ever Jumble Sale and Community Cafe, which raised well over a thousand pounds; an impromptu Lenten car blessing; some heavy snowfall enhancing the beauty of the church; celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Guild of All Souls, our parish patron; and most recently, our annual Lent Study Day on Pilgrimage with 'medieval pilgrim' Michael Brown. Many thanks to him and all those who turned up to hear such an interesting presentation.

Organ Recital To Be Rearranged

 The organ blower motor is presently being repaired and so we have decided to re-arrange the Organ Recital which had been planned for 4 March. New date to be advertised soon.

We Hae Meat

 

Hot on the heels of India Republic Day came our parish Burnstide Celebration. Many thanks to those who organised and ran the event and to those who prepared our meal - haggis, tatties and neeps, and clootie dumpling to follow. Great fun was had, wee drams were much in evidence, and the vicar was presented with a bottle... of Irn-Bru!
