17th March 2023, Weekly Update

1. Sunday 19 March

Worship is at 9.30 am and 10.30 am (also live-streamed). The passage is Matthew 7:1-12 and the theme, ‘Please rate and review.’

2)   Real Easter Eggs.

If you placed an order, please collect and pay for your egg(s) on Sunday after the services – cash or cheques only.

Thank you to everyone who donated one of the 100+ eggs that have been delivered to East Lothian Foodbank. Elaine from the Foodbank has been in touch. She said,  ‘It really is very kind of you to support the foodbank once again with this generous donation. As you know many of the children we support will not otherwise receive an Easter egg, particularly such a special egg as these, so your donation really will make a difference to many families.’

3)   Easter Cards for the Parish

An Easter Card has been produced with details of the Easter Services. Could you help deliver it to one of the streets in the parish?  Envelopes for each street will be available to collect at coffee on Sunday.  The parish is the eastern half of the town. On this occasion it has also been possible to include details of Abbey Church services. Abbey parish is the western half of the town. So if you live in that part of North Berwick and want to put a few cards through letter boxes near you, please speak to Hugh or Ian at the desk.
