CHURCH CONCERT

Thanks to everyone involved in the recent Church Concert. A great night was had by all, and £600 was raised for Church Funds.

Thanks to the performers and those who helped with setting up/clearing up the hall, the stewards, the suppliers of home baking, the ticket sellers, and those who helped with serving tea on the night. A special thanks to all who formed a very appreciative and enthusiastic audience.

Bishopton Christian Aid Group

The Bishopton Christian Aid Group would like to thank everyone who helped to make the Plant Sale and Coffee Morning such a success. Whether you grew some plants for us, baked a cake or just came along and enjoyed a tea or coffee and some home baking and a chat with friends.
The magnificent sum of £3228 for Christian Aid Week was raised between the Plant Sale, Coffee Morning and the envelope collection.


Thank you again and just a reminder that our next fundraising event will be the Christmas card delivery in December.

Renfrewshire Foodbank

As the demand for the Foodbank in Renfrewshire continues to remain high, our Church is pleased to offer support by welcoming donations at The Cornerstone or at the Church service on Sundays.

There is always a need for tinned foods, meat, fish, soup, vegetables, pasta sauce, as well as cereals, biscuits, long life milk, diluting juice. Donations of toiletries, particularly shampoo, shower and shaving items, pet food and chocolate/sweets/crisps are also very much appreciated.

As usual donations can be dropped off at the Church on Sunday or at The Cornerstone when it is open for Chit Chat, Coffee Stop or Services.
