INTIMATIONS

1. Prayer Time continues Sundays 9 am.

2. Prayer Breakfast at Manse on Tuesday @ 7 am.  All are welcome to come for this short time of prayer and fellowship.

3. Bible Study and Prayer Meeting:  Wednesday @ 7.30 pm in Scone New Church, Committee Room 2.

4. The Stated Annual Meeting will take place on Thursday 18th March, please note that Minutes of the Stated Annual Meeting and Finance Report are available for uplift and in the Church Vestibule.

5. Christian Aid Forth Bridge Cross.  The Bridge Cross this year takes place on Saturday 24 April and is suitable for all ages and abilities.  It is about 1.5 miles one way, a round trip of approximately 3 miles, and gives fabulous views across the Firth of Forth.  The sponsorship forms are now available from Jan Montgomery, in the absence of Gordon Pirie who is on holiday. Once again we stress that it is not necessary to ask people to sponsor you if you find that uncomfortable. Many of the Scone New walkers in the past chose to make a personal donation rather than ask for sponsorship.  Please join us - you will enjoy a lovely afternoon out with a little gentle exercise, good fresh air, and some refreshments on the way home.

6. Regarding the Edict citing the congregation to attend the Presbytery meeting at Scone Old hall at 7pm on 9 March could Elders and Board members please note that there is a message in pigeon holes asking for attendance to be confirmed to the Session Clerk. Could members of the congregation attending also let the Session Clerk know so that probable numbers are known. It would be very helpful to have a good turnout to show our strong support for the union.

OUTREACH

 RECYCLING SOFT PLASTIC 

I do hope you are finding the new kerbside collection of plastic milk bottles, and plastic drink bottles of benefit.  No more gathering them to bring to our bins!!

We now plan to use the two redundant bins at the side of the church hall for the collection of soft plastic.  During a three month trial we will monitor how well this is used.  You will find that we have put a notice on each of the bins – the blue-lidded bin is for COLOURED soft plastic, that is stretchy plastic that has any colour on it at all, even the tiny line of black printing you often see on some pieces. 

The second bin – the metal one – is for COLOURLESS soft plastic, free of any kind of printing.  As you know all the plastic we collect must be free of sticky tape, labels, or anything that would contaminate it when it is processed.

Scone New Church is an Eco-congregation - thank you for doing a little bit to help to reduce your carbon footprint.
