News and Upcoming Events

Keep the date of the morning of Saturday 30th November 2024 for our Christmas Fair! This will be happening between 10am and 1pm and there will be stalls and refreshments to enjoy...

The Church of Scotland has connections with the Reformed Church in Hungary. If you'd like details of a secure way to donate money to Reformed Church in Hungary Aid directly to help refugees from the war in Ukraine click here to get bank account details of how to do an international money transfer. There is also now a way of doing this without the need for an international money transfer. The donation is made to the Church of Scotland and then passed to Hungary. With the second method it is easier to Gift Aid your donation if you pay UK tax. Details on how to do this can be found on this Church Of Scotland webpage.

Stamps - Last year we collected used stamps for Crossreach and Damaris has kindly agreed to do that again, so please do save your stamps as it's an easy way to generate money for Crossreach. Please tear with a good margin around them and pop them into the box at the back of the Sanctuary.

Edinburgh North West foodbank is missing us! They have emailed asking if we can continue with some support either by donating at supermarkets or making a one off or regular financial donation. The supermarkets in the north of the city which are affiliated are: Morrisons Granton, Waitrose & Partners Comely Bank and Marks & Spencer Craigleith. And you can visit their website here to make a financial donation. (They are now known as Edinburgh Food Project).
