Time to Remember
This time of year often sharpens the sense of loss. For this reason we are holding a short service called, ‘A Time to Remember’ on Sunday, 7th December at 3.00pm upstairs in the Carswell Centre. Readings, music and prayers will express our loss and our thanksgiving. Refreshments will be available afterwards. Your loss may not have been recent but you may still wish to remember someone dear and give thanks for their lives. Please let us know if you are coming along, but this is not a requirement. The Church Office can be advised by telephone or email (office@eagleshamparishchurch.co.uk). All are welcome, members and non-members alike.
Christmas Craft Volunteer
Volunteers Needed - 14th December.
If you are free and able to volunteer on the day please contact Anna Blair. There is no need to be particularly crafty - we just need extra hands to man tables - all crafts will have been planned and prepped before the day! We also need donations of home-baking. Please let Anna know if you will be able to give anything so she can plan what else needs done! Thanks.
