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.

Sunday 8th May 2022: Members of our Transition Support Group will be at Drylaw for a meeting with the congregation after the service. Please stay if you can as this meeting will look back over the last five years and consider what has been achieved and reflect on what seeds have been planted that might be developed in the future.

Wednesday 9th February 2022: Open Door is meeting in the Sanctuary at Drylaw Church at 1pm. Open Door will be meeting weekly on Wednesdays at 1pm thereafter.

Sharing Shelf in Drylaw Church is continuing every Wednesday 11am - 1pm. Thanks to those who have volunteered. Currently the things we need are listed as a hard copy and you can pick it up at the end of the service.

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.

Phone-line 0131 378 7974: Jenny hopes to have new material based on the Sunday service available on the phone line by 6pm on Sunday evening each week. This gives you a way of accessing what happened during the service if you are unable to join "live" on a Sunday morning at 10.30. You should also be able to listen to the recording using a computer or tablet by clicking here. The service from Sunday 17th April  (Easter Sunday) should be available on the phone line now.

Edinburgh North West foodbank is missing us! Jenny has an email from them 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).

Our Minister, Rev. Jenny Williams
