EWSNEWS  October 2025

The story so far:

Friday 19 September Croeso. Mortonhall Golf Club, at 7.30pm.

The Croeso was good fun, plenty of chat and lots to eat. The map of the world came out again and more places of interest were added. (Many thanks to Alison who helped me locate the Faroe Islands) This was followed by community singing led by Huw Thomas, with his keyboard for accompaniment.

Forthcoming events:

Sunday 26 October Harvest Thanksgiving Service. Reid Memorial large hall, at 3.00pm

We come together to give thanks for all our many blessings through our hymns, prayers and readings. There will be a table set aside for donations to the local food bank, so if you are able to contribute offerings of store cupboard food or toiletries, they would be very gratefully received.

Friday 28 November St Andrew’s Night supper. Priestfield Church hall, at 7.30pm

Please mark the date in your diary. Further details will follow in my November EWSNEWS.
