The Annual Garvald Christmas Dinner – that beloved highlight of the festive calendar – will take place on Thursday 5th December at 7 pm. Please put the date in your diaries now, and look out for the invitations coming through your letter-boxes within the next few weeks.

If there are any teenagers out there who are not studying for prelims that night, or busy with school dances or concerts, and who would like to earn a little bit of extra Christmas cash as they help with serving and washing-up,  please could they contact one of Santa’s angels….

Caroline McGregor, Elaine McMillan, Trudi Cueto, Chiara Brand, Chiara Vaccaro, Gemma Gilmour, Becca Hamilton and Graeme Maxton

And since we fear there are not many teenagers who routinely check the website please could we ask the Mums and Dads to draw this message to their attention.

    An offer has been received to purchase Garvald Church which is acceptable to the Church of Scotland Trustees.

    An entry date of 17th May has been proposed for the sale and accordingly, with great sadness, it is likely that Sunday 5th May 2024 at 9.30am will be the last service to be held by Garvald and Morham Parish in Garvald church.

    We look forward to welcoming everybody who would like to attend.

    Tea/ coffee and cake will be served in the Stables after the service.

    Neither the Stables not the Glebe are included in the sale.
