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, 15th December at 3.00pm in the Upper Hall of the Carswell Centre. There will be readings, music and prayers to express our loss and also our thanksgiving. Refreshments will be available after the service. 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.
Would you like to help some of those most disadvantaged in our communities who are struggling with the cost of living crises and cannot make ends meet? This can affect any age group from the elderly to young people trying to raise families. If so, we would welcome contributions of non-perishable food and toiletries at the Carswell Foodbank on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 11.00 am and 12.00.
The foodbank is situated at the Carswell Halls in Montgomery Street, Eaglesham. The list of ‘Most Wanted’ items is detailed opposite. Any contributions, large or small, will be most gratefully received by one of our friendly team of volunteers.

Life & Work
Glasgow Presbytery
Life and Work is the Church of Scotland’s monthly magazine. The March issue has a specific feature about Glasgow Presbytery. On the assumption that this might be of interest to some folk who are not subscribers we have obtained six extra copies. These are available for uplift at the back of the church. If you do take a copy please return it the following Sunday so that others may have the opportunity to read it. Alternatively click on the Life and Work image.
History
The present Church was designed by Robert McLachlane and completed in 1790, just as the new planned village of Eaglesham was taking shape. The Gothic-style structure, originally octagonal, is joined to a classical ashler steeple with clock tower, inscribed with the uncompromising
'woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel'
