SVP NEWS - The S.V.P. wish to thank all those who generously donated to their funds over the Christmas period: Thank you!

The ‘Nairn Caravan’ This caravan belonged to the Aberdeen Diocese, and was offered our for holiday use (In the past, we have taken advantage of this generosity). However, the caravan has now reached the end of its useful life. It is simply too expensive to replace and sadly, therefore, the ‘Nairn Caravan’ is no more……  

 

PILGRIMAGE - This is just to remind you that we are still looking into the feasibility of a Parish Pilgrimage to Iona Abbey in August! The event will cost in the region of £350. This includes two night’s accommodation of bed, breakfast and dinner plus coach hire and entrance/guided tour of the Abbey. A Payment Plan can be arranged in the months prior to the Pilgrimage. If you’re interested /would like to know more, please either add your name to the list in the Hall or contact Callum on callum.timms@rcboness.org.

 

COLLECTIONS - The Offertory Collection last weekend realised £400.99, and the Second Collection, £60.97; Grateful thanks to all donors.

 

200 CLUB – Renewal of membership of the 200 Club is now due. There are quite a few spaces vacant in the 200 Club; so, if you fancy an additional number or want to enrol for the first time please see Julie or one of the Pass Keepers. It’s only £13 for a whole year’s worth of chances!!

If you use the steps then please use the handrails provided

If you are carrying anything then please use the slope provided
