A Time to Remember
As Christmas approaches, it can be a difficult time for those of us who have lost someone they love. This time of year often sharpens the sense of loss. For this reason we are holding a short service called, ‘A Time to Remember’. It will take place on Sunday, 5th December at 3.00pm in the Upper Room of the Carswell Hall. There will be readings, music and prayers to express our loss and also our thanksgiving. Your loss may not have been recent but you may still wish to remember someone dear and give thanks for their lives. All are welcome, members and non members alike.
The proof is in the pudding - Christian Aid
Children’s activities are back! We are delighted that our children’s organisations and activities are up and running: The BB, Guildes and Brownies, Messy Church, EPYC and Church Builders. We also have our new children’s corner in church so that young families and children feel comfortable and welcome.

Foodbank Update
Between June 2020 and May 2021 donations to the foodbank were taken to Castlemilk Church. Recently a Community Pantry has been set up in the Community Centre and Castlemilk Church no longer has a foodbank. We have been supporting The Pantry whilst it is becoming established. Some donations have also been taken to Castlemilk Community Church (Baptist Church), particularly children's clothing which folks have generously donated. The Community Church supports those who have sought asylum, as well as their own community.
Since June 2021 East Renfrewshire Foodbank at Barrhead has needed your donations & we are now taking them there regularly as well as supporting the Eaglesham Community Larder when required.
Thank you Eaglesham Parish Church & Community for your loyal, continuing support since 2014 (believe it or not!).
The Carswell Centre is open for donations on Tuesdays and Thurdays between 11.00am and 12.00noon. Monthly community collections continue on the second Sunday of each month.
Most needed items are: UHT Milk, Fruit Juice, Sugar, Tinned Fruit, Creamed Rice, Coffee, Tinned Spaghetti, Toilet Rolls, Deodorants & Shampoos.
The Carswell Centre is available for hire for functions and events contact hall-lets@eagleshamparishchurch.co.uk
Prayer
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.’ Proverbs 3:5
Lord, we pray for young people throughout the world, especially those who are suffering at this time. We remember our youth organisations and the young people who attend them; help them to find lasting friendships and skills for life. Would you encourage all who are responsible for young people, as they devote their time and energy for others; and help them to communicate your love and hope for the future. In Jesus’ name, amen.
If you feel that you or a loved one would benefit from prayer support feel free to complete the form on our Prayer Request page
