Christian Aid
The
Kiltwalk took place on Sunday 28th April.
Our
regular stalwarts, Diane Walker and Jim Stewart, once
again walked in support of Christian Aid.
Thank you to all who have already donated. If you'd like to support their efforts the
links to their JustGiving pages are:-
Diane: https://www.justgiving.com/page/diane-walker-kiltwalk24
Jim: https://www.justgiving.com/page/james-stewart-kiltwalk24
I
am sure they were pleased to get a drier day than last year!
Christian Aid Week 12th
to 18th May
As
in recent years, the churches of Bearsden will be distributing flyers
round their parishes with details on them of how to give online during
Christian Aid Week.
A Bearsden Churches
Christian Aid JustGiving page has been set up and the link is:
https://www.justgiving.com/page/bearsdenchristianaidweek2024
If
it suits you better, we are aiming to have Christian Aid Week
envelopes available at church, although they would need to be
brought
back to the church as the 'house to house' round is a leaflet drop
without a collection side.
Coffee Concert Saturday May 18th
Our
season of Saturday Coffee Concerts finishes on Saturday May 18th with a
special concert to be given by students from the Royal Conservatoire
Scotland proceeds in aid of Christian Aid.
As before, the
students from the Conservatoire will perform a wide range of arias and
ensembles from your favourite operas – “An Hour of Opera Pops”. It is
always such a pleasure to hear young, talented artists at the very
start of their careers. In addition, it will be a fitting culmination
of our fundraising for Christian Aid Week 2024 as all the proceeds from
the concert will go to Christian Aid.
Fresh coffee and
delicious home baking will be served beforehand from 10.45 am in the
small hall with the concert in the church at 11.30 am. Tickets priced
£12 will be available at the door – cash only please.
We look forward to seeing you then – please join us if you can.
We
would like to thank all the folk who have helped with these concerts in
any way, especially the bakers whose donations have supplied the
audience with such a variety of delicious dainties. We hear quite a few
compliments from members of the audience regarding the tasty goodies
and the quality coffee served at these concerts.
Thank you
also, to all those who have attended any of the concerts. Audience
numbers have been good, with a lot of regulars for whom the
concerts seem to be a pleasant social outing - just as we would wish.
We have been able to transfer £1,000 to the church funds, which is much
appreciated.
The first concert of the next season is on Saturday September 21st, programme to be arranged.
