EARLY
BIRDS Can we tempt you to join us with the aroma of grilled bacon and
croissants? or the good chats around the table? or the friendships
that develop? or the wee acts of worship we share together before
heading out to see what the day has to offer? 7.30am this Thursday
at St Stephen’s is the place to be and thereafter every
alternate Thursday – finished by 8.15am
A
CAR BOOT SALE IN AID OF THE HANDBELL GROUP is to be held in the
Blythswood Car Park, Evanton on Saturday 12 July. If anyone in the
congregation has any item which they have no further use for and
which may be sellable at a car boot sale would you like to donate to
the Handbell Group to raise funds for a full set of bells? Look at
it as a time to have a summer clearance of bits you haven’t
used for some time - there is always someone who can use your items
and are willing to pay for them.

project of building a church and Christian School in Okara, Pakistan.

have the chance to meet him in person. He will be speaking at the
following venues: Sunday 6 July 7pm Crown Church lounge; Wednesday 9
