2) Lothian Speak Their Name Suicide Quilt
This quilt, made by family and friends of people in the Lothians who have died by suicide will be on display in the front entrance of the church from 20 Sept to 3 Oct. Its purpose is both to remember those who have died and to prompt conversations about suicide and mental health. The quilt has been touring the region and we are glad to offer space for it in North Berwick. Our prayer is that God will use it to help those affected and to prompt others to find help when they are struggling.
3) The Bible Course
Harvest means The Bible Course is on pause for a week – a great opportunity for anyone who was away in the last two weeks. You can buy your copy at coffee for £8. Since people have started at different times they are at different stages on the Daily Bible Plan. To help everyone a copy of the entire plan is attached.
4) Church Directory
The Church Directory is a brilliant and simple tool that helps us be the body of Christ. People are continually coming and going so it needs to be refreshed regularly. Julie Lazonby is preparing a fresh edition. Attached to this email is a message from Julie that explains all you need to know and do. Being included in the directory is an act of commitment to Jesus and his people. So whether you are new or old to the congregation, please will you complete it for Julie, or tell her you want to be in the new edition before the end of the month.
5) Macmillan Coffee morning Saturday 27 September
