New Walking Group


Following the conversations and feedback regarding the proposed walking group ('Don't Forget Your Sandwiches'!), we're going to give it a go!




As a start the following programme is proposed.



Sunday 5th May.  11.30am:

Kirkcudbright Riverside and Cumstoun – 6 miles - easy



Sunday 9th June.  12.15pm:

Screel Hill – 3.5 miles – strenuous (if you’re happy to provide a lift please bring your car)



Sunday 7th July. 12.15pm

St Mary’s Isle – 3 miles – easy



Sunday 4th August. 11.30am

Kippford/Rockcliffe circular – 3 miles – easy with some uneven paths (if you’re happy to provide a lift please bring your car)





Some general information.

Meet outside Kirkcudbright Parish Church – Don’t forget your sandwiches!



All timings are approximate, depending on the length of the morning’s service!



The walks are ‘self-supporting’ in that participants are responsible for themselves.  We’re not a club that folk join, simply like-minded people getting together for a walk.
If you know anyone who would like to come along....please bring them with you!



Further reminders about forthcoming walks will be posted on the Church notice boards, in the weekly order of service, in the monthly newsletter and on the blog.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Messy Church

A huge thank you once again to everyone who came along to take part in Messy Church on Sunday (27th January).

It was great to meet new guests, and always lovely to see returning Messy Church visitors too!
We hope you all had a brilliant time!  I think we all learned something new about the story of Noah and the great flood.  (The blogger certainly did)!

The next Messy Church will take place in the Parish Church Hall on Sunday 24th February from 9.15am - 10.30am, all are welcome.  We'd be delighted to see you if you can come along.
Messy Church is for everyone!  You don't have to bring children, or grandchildren along, if you would like to share some breakfast, enjoy some fellowship, crafts and worship time, Messy Church is for you!

We look forward to welcoming you.

Here's a photo of some 'big' Messy Church folk joining in with the crafts (and concentrating very hard)!

Christmas Tree Festival




CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL

The beautiful Christmas tree festival is over for another year and it has been a real success once again.
A huge thank you to everyone who organised, participated, encouraged and visited. We had over 600 people visiting the festival and raised over £318 for Kirkcudbright Pre-School Group. 
Over 60 people wrote prayers and put them on the prayer tree, whilst others placed a 3 dimensional star on in lieu of a written prayer. There are 5 or 6 of those written prayers in individual envelopes on a table at the back of church, please take an envelope and continue to pray for the situations mentioned, also pray for those who chose not to write down their concerns. We may not know their concerns, but our amazing God does, continuing to offer those prayers is one way we can support our community as we move forward into a new year. 
Thanks again and every blessing for 2019.
