Leaflets about Blythswood Shoe Box appeal are available in the vestibule. If you are unable to fill a box please consider placing a donation in an envelope marked Shoe Box and put it in the offering plate.

It is with regret we have to announce there will be no further Newsletter unless someone steps forward as Editor. We are very grateful to Alison Page for the great work she did over the years in producing a fabulous Newsletter and also to Alison Armstrong for her recent help.

Psalm 100 A Thanksgiving Psalm
On your feet now—applaud God!
Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into His presence.
Know this: God is God.
He made us; we didn’t make him.
We’re His people, His well-tended sheep.
Enter with the password: “Thank you!”
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank Him. Worship Him.
For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
faithful always and ever.
