Vestry Meeting After the summer recess, the Vestry met on Tuesday 12 September 2017 at 7:30pm. There were full discussions regarding the upkeep of the property, inside and out, with focus on Health and Safety, Fire and insurance matters. Finance, was as always, central to the Vestry’s deliberations. Thank you to all who work for the good of St Oswald’s & the community. We noted details of Hall Users and future events including invitation to the Southside Churches Joint Service and St Oswald’s Coffee Morning and Sale. (see Back page for details) A donation of ladies’ sanitary items has been made to acknowledge “Period Poverty” and will be located in the drawer of the changing station located in the ladies’ toilet. Thank you for your donation. Please remember to provide AGM reports to secretary in good time to allow for printing or at next meeting 3 October 2017. Morag McHaffie: Secretary Flowers Freda and Jean reluctantly have had to withdraw from regular flower arranging duties. I am grateful for their willing help over many years. I am grateful to Lesley-Ann who is now helping and has already shown her artistic skills. In the future, there will be a section in the magazine where anyone can name a loved one and the date they would like to donate flowers in their memory. Also, we now have a tin beside the prayer tree for donations towards flowers. Thank you to all who have donated so that we can enhance the Church throughout the seasons and the Church calendar.
