Dear Friends,

 

This week’s newsletter contains details of:

• October and November Services ( including Remembrance Day )

 

LINKAGE SERVICES – 1st Sunday of the month starting at 10.30am.

October – Weem

November – Aberfeldy

December - Logierait

 

 

SUNDAY SERVICES

 

5 October – 10.30am Linkage Service at Weem with Harvest Thanksgiving

 

Harvest Offerings – We are suggesting non-perishable items that will supplement the Breadalbane Social Supermarket. Non- perishable items are ideal. A full list of their immediate needs is listed below

 

Current needs are:

 

Instant coffee*

UHT milk*

cereals *

tins of fruit*

juice* 

sweets

biscuits*

potatoes

 

There's only 1 pack of filter coffee which we tend not to put in emergency packs because we never know what utensils people have, although we will definitely use it to add when we have no instant coffee.

Milk always seems to be popular with the Social Supermarket attendees and we are reserving 3 in case of emergency requests. Items marked * are very much welcomed!!

For some reason we have lots of tins of tomatoes, a lot of passata and tins of pulses. All very useful in my opinion!! The SS people don't often choose those.

Live streaming will be available to our members through a private link. N.B. The link will change every week.

If you are unable to attend and would like to view the service live, please contact Karen Kelman  the Church Administrator in Aberfeldy Parish Church by the previous Thursday : karen.kelman@aberfeldyparishchurch.org. Karen will be very happy to help.
