We are delighted to say that our much loved Walking Nativity Play will once again take place on Christmas Eve. As in previous years we will join together in the Carswell Centre for a warming refreshment after the event and if you feel you could assist with the catering please contact Doug Lamont. We would also welcome donations of mulled wine and mince pies which can be brought to church or handed to any member of the Outreach Team. Many thanks.
Outlook and Card Delivery
Eaglesham Outlook and our Christmas card will be distributed to every house in Eaglesham and Waterfoot at the end of November. We could do with one or two more distributors.

Flowers for Christmas
We are planning a very special event on 29th November at 18.30 in the Carswell Centre for Fund Raising. This could be the very thing for those who say, “I don’t know what to do with flowers”, or have said, “I would like to make a wreath”. All you need will be provided with a light refreshment at the end. The very talented Maureen Keith will demonstrate then our church flower arrangers will assist with endeavours. It is expected that only 30 can be accommodated, so when further details are available you will need to sign up quickly and make another decision – table centre or wreath!
A Time to Remember
As Christmas approaches, it can be a difficult time for those of us who have lost someone they love. For this reason we are holding a short service called, ‘A Time to Remember’ 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. 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.
