Christian Aid wants –

to expose poverty throughout the world
to help in practical ways to end it
to highlight, challenge and change the structures and systems that favour the rich and powerful over the poor and marginalised.

This week, a Christian Aid envelope will drop through your letter-box, but nobody will come annoying you and knocking on your door for collection. Instead, you have the chance to take a leisurely Spring stroll through the village, and drop your donation in the locked strong box in the church vestibule. The Church is open every day. (alternatively pass to Janet Winter or Caroline McGregor) Anything you can spare will be gratefully received by those in need. Thank You.

PS You can also donate on-line if you prefer

Ideally we’ll be outside, hula-hooping in our best fifties fashion! Grateful thanks to the Community Council who are providing funds for this event.

It would be really helpful to get a rough idea of how many people are coming. Please tell Sarah Ramsey or Caroline McGregor or fill in the form below

On Friday 13th May there will be a showing of the Billy Wilder classic, “The Apartment”, starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine.

A romantic comedy for May AND there will be teas/coffees and cakes!

Save-the-Date for a party in June

Let’s use the Jubilee holiday weekend in June to celebrate nearly-getting-back-to-normal after the pandemic

The afternoon of Sunday 5th June – hopefully in the park – food, fun and a wee bit of dancing

Easter Services in Garvald Church

There will be a Communion service in Garvald Church on Maundy Thursday at 6.30 pm.

Then on Easter Sunday, a family service with an Easter egg hunt afterwards for Easter bunny-lovers

Plea from the Community Council

A number of residents have expressed concern about dog poo being left on the paths and park within Garvald.I am aware that we have a number of dogs in the village and that owners take responsibility for clearing up after their dogs. However, given the reported incidents can I ask that owners remain attentive when out with their dogs please.Phillip
