Managing The Cornerstone – a new approach
We have been unable to appoint a permanent caretaker for The Cornerstone, and therefore have to think of a different way to manage access to the building etc. To do this we want to set up a small team of people who would cover the duties on a rota basis, by managing a set period of time. The commitment will be a few weeks across the year. As a salary is not appropriate for this arrangement, an Honorarium will be offered to the team members.
If you would be interested in joining the team and wish to have an informal discussion, please contact either
Stewart Campbell ([email protected]; 07882 305026) or
Des Nicholl ([email protected]; 07929 037906).
Langbank Church 50/50 Concerts
Close Shave Chorus have been booked for this Concert to be held in Langbank Church at 2.30pm on Sunday 2nd March. All those who were disappointed that the recent booking for Chit-Chat had to be cancelled, are welcome to attend this event. Tickets priced £5.00 will be available at the door.
One World Committee
We are asking for donations after the church service on the 23rd of February to help Chisingano again. We had great success with the Water Project in 2023 and brought clean, running water to that village in Malawi.
We have been asked if we can help with the refurbishment of one of ten teachers’ houses in the village at a cost of £370.00 The teachers accommodate extended families, and a number have pupils staying with them. A great cause to support in making a difference to people’s lives.
Articles for Newsy-Mail
If group leaders or committee convenors have information, they wish to circulate to members or adherents of the church, please contact Ruby at The Cornerstone who will include this in the next edition.
