Helpers wanted for St Oswald's Stall at Castlemilk Family Fun Day
11th June
Our Church will have a presence at this year’s Castlemilk Family Fun Day on
Saturday 11th June, 11am - 3pm. We will use this event to tell people about
the Church, it’s mission and our new “Cherish Programme” of community
engagement.
This is a great chance for us to meet people, make friends and spread the
word about our Church. Willie & Linda, our new development workers will be
there to tell people about the Men’s Shed, Banner Group, Gardening
Activities and much more.
We plan to have nice things to give away to bring happiness to our
community of families. We need your help to staff the stall and also need
your ideas about what “goodies” we can give away.
Our stall will be in the big hall in Castlemilk Community Centre from 11am to
3pm on the day.
If you can help, even for half an hour, get in touch with a member of the
Vestry to offer your time.
Vestry Notes:
The latest meeting of the Vestry took place on Tuesday, May 3 rd .
The first item of business was a report from Willie Whitelaw who is in charge
of the Men’s Shed project. He has been very busy going round the local area
sounding out people about their views on having a Men’s Shed at St
Oswald’s.
So far everyone he has spoken to has been in favour of it; admittedly, he
hasn’t spoke to the occupants of all houses in St Oswald’s Glebe yet! He
has found twelve men who have said that they would definitely like to use
the shed if and when it is built. After giving his report and being thanked for
all that he was doing Willie left the meeting.
Another project which will have started by the time you are reading this is the
Banner-making project which is part of WOW (Wider Opportunities for
Women).
The arrangements for this have been made by Linda Hardie in addition to
her duties as Youth Development Officer.
Also by the time this magazine is printed I hope that the new kitchen will be
completed, or nearly so. John Caullay was due to start work on May 10 th and
to take a fortnight over the job.
