1. There are still some spaces on the Flower Calendar in the vestibule. If you would like to donate flowers, please add your details. If you know anyone who would has been ill, bereaved or just need a ‘pick-me-up’ please let one of the flower team know so flowers can be delivered after the service.

2. Come along for a ‘Cuppa and Chat’ in the Chapel of St. Apollinaris this Friday 20 September from 10am to 12noon. The emphasis is on a friendly blether over a free cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit and is open to all.

3. On Saturday 19th October at 1.00pm there will be a special concert in St Andrew's Church. The Social Committee is delighted to bring professional musicians, Roddy Matthews, fiddler, and Allan Smith, accordionist, to Inverurie, a chance to enjoy a wonderful afternoon of music. Roddy and Allan have played together for several years and have broadcast for BBC Radio Scotland and other media outlets. After the concert there will be a finger buffet in the Hall and Old Chapel. Tickets cost £10.00 pp, available from Molly (01467 620612), in the Hall after today's service or from the Church Office.

4. The Bible Study Group will meet again this Thursday in the Chapel of St. Apollinaris, when we will continue to study Paul’s letter to the Romans.

5. Next Sunday we will celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion. The readings will be Psalm 1 and Mark 9:30-37.

6. Friends of Amal have asked me to pass on their grateful thanks for the immense generosity shown by members of our congregation for an Iraqi family who recently arrived with no winter clothes. They are still looking for cosy clothing items (especially jackets) for the Dad, who is medium size and the lads who are in their mid-twenties and small. Please contact Biff Barrow ( via the Acorn Centre) if you feel you can help.
