HARVEST SERVICE followed by Lunch
Please make sure you add your name to the list at the back of the church so those who are catering for the Harvest Lunch know how many will be attending or whether they will need to perform a miracle to let lunch stretch to feed the masses !

Glasgow City Mission www . glasgowcitymission . com - We work with adults and children who are vulnerable and disadvantaged in Glasgow , people that are often leading chaotic or difficult lives . We want to help them to break free from their oppressive situations .
That situation may involve ; homelessness , addiction , poverty , family breakdown , prostitution , emotional issues - or maybe all of these .
We do this as a group of Christians who are passionate about the people that look to us for help . We want to share a message of hope and aim to have compassion for these individuals .
Thank You ! Glasgow City Mission

A Bishop visited a primary school in his full Episcopal attire – with his mitre , robes and bishop ’ s crook or crozier . A little lad ’ s mother asked him later what he had thought of the Bishops visit to his school . The little boy replied : “ It was great – now I know what a real crook looks like !”
